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.

Winter Youth Sports Programs

• TBD

Cedar Valley Taekwondo

Taekwondo is an excellent way for youth to develop balance, coordination, self-discipline and respect. Martial Arts also helps adults and children improve self-control, self-confidence, flexibility, weight control and physical fitness. Since Taekwondo is a year-round activity, it is a great aerobic exercise. A large benefit of being in Taekwondo is that it is one of the few activities that all family members can participate in. All Taekwondo participants must be five years old and up. This sport meets on Tuesday and Thursdays from 5:30 – 7 pm.
