Family YMCA of Black Hawk County

YOUTH SPORTS

At the Y, our staff, coaches and volunteers all share a vision of helping all youth reach their full potential in life. We aim to create a healthy outlet for children to build character, gain new skills, develop a sense of team and connect with positive role models through youth sports. We also make sure kids can just be kids — playing, learning and growing.


Youth Wellness Orientations

Youth ages 10-13 who want to use the fitness center area MUST complete this orientation. This one-session program provides information on cardiovascular exercise, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. Participants will learn general safety guidelines, proper gym etiquette as well as how to use the cardio and strength training equipment. After successful completion of the program, youth will be allowed to work out in the fitness center area without adult supervision. Sign up at the Welcome Center Desk. This orientation is for members only.

Youth Personal Training (Ages 10-17)

Youth Personal Training allows youth to train in a safe environment with a YMCA personal trainer who can help them learn age-appropriate exercises, improve their general fitness and/or sport-specific skills, and help them achieve their fitness goals. All youth sessions are one-on-one and are 45 – 60 minutes in duration. To get started, please fill out this registration form below.
