Focus/Mission
Youth sports at the Tampa Y encourages and promotes healthy kids, families and communities by focusing on healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participation over winning, team-building as well as individual development. Kids who participate in the Tampa Y sports programs develop a positive self-image, a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others.
Volunteer Coaching Opportunities
Parents are encouraged to be more than mere spectators, by contributing their time as volunteer coaches – as well as being their kid’s greatest fan.
