YMCA Programs, Sports, and Special Events!
The YMCA of Van Wert County hosts youth and adult programs centered around the Y's mission and that mission is, "To put Christian principals into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all". We use this mission to support our program curriculum in both youth and adult programs.
Our sports programs include youth and adult flag football, soccer, basketball, baseball, and much more. Special events such as dances, youth fun days, and healthy kids days also provide great opportunities for youth and families to be active and stay engaged.
Our youth sports programs are great for teaching beginners fundamental skills and teamwork. Here at the YMCA we are for Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. That means that through our sports programs, youth participants will learn healthy habits, individual and team responsibility, and how to build relationships with others. The YMCA is not focused on wins and losses in our programs. We are more focused on teaching youth the skills and having as much fun as possible!
Adult sports at the Y are a great way to stay active and bond with friends or make new connections with other adults. We offer adult flag football, basketball leagues, and pickleball tournaments at different times of the year.
Adult and family special events like battle of the businesses, family fun nights, and more.
We enjoy serving the Van Wert community through our programs and we look forward to seeing you all at the Y!
