ABOUT USThe YMCA is a nonprofit organization. We offer the only nonprofit fitness facilities in the Pikes Peak Region and we are one of the community’s largest nonprofits!

Last year, we gave away over $1.7 million in scholarships, and we never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay.

Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

Our core values are caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

We measure the success of our cause in three areas of focus: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

YOUTH SPORTSOur sports leagues develop more than skills – they develop character. We promote the development of each athlete so they can reach their highest potential through skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship.

Honoring the Y’s four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, our volunteer coaches focus on developing character as much as building athletes. We believe teamwork and cooperation are keys to success.

SPORTS SPONSORS & PARTNERS

Special thanks to our Fall and Winter Basketball Sponsor!

WHY CHOOSE Y SPORTS?Sports participation keeps children physically active and provides them with positive development opportunities. At the Y, we promote the development of each athlete so they can reach their highest potential through skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship.

Honoring the Y’s four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, our volunteer coaches focus on developing character as much as building athletes. That is why we do not conduct tryouts to select the best players, nor do we cut children from our programs.

We believe teamwork and cooperation are keys to success.

We play fair and respect teammates, opponents, coaches, officials and ourselves.

Striving to win is an essential part of all sports, but winning is only one of many goals at the Y.

Smiling, laughing and good feelings are important.

Our focus on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship and values is what sets Y Youth Sports apart.

Martial ArtsChildren learn self-discipline and self-defense skills while learning how to use strength effectively and improving flexibility, balance and coordination.

TumblingParticipants will develop flexibility, strength, coordination and self-confidence as they learn basic skills on floor, bars, beam and vault.

OUR COACHESOur volunteer coaches bring The Y Way to Play to life. They are committed to promoting sportsmanship and to being encouraging and supportive while using positive feedback methods to create an environment where all players participate equally, learn, grow and have fun!

Join Our TeamOur volunteer coaches provide leadership and instruction to their players, becoming role models for our young athletes. Sure, you’ll teach skills, rules and technique, but you’ll also work to create an atmosphere of respect, acceptance and caring for players, fellow coaches and parents.

SPECIALTY HEALTH PROGRAMS

LIVESTRONG® at the YOur Y is proud to offer LIVESTRONG at the YMCA to help cancer survivors feel alive again! This 12-week program is designed to help survivors overcome the effects of fatigue and deconditioning from treatment and the disease. The program is for adult survivors from the point of diagnosis through the balance of life and includes a family membership during the 12-week program. A physician referral is necessary to join the program.

Participants do not need to be YMCA members – so please share this with anyone you think might be interested. Prior to beginning the program, all participants will be asked to meet with a LIVESTRONG at the YMCA specialist for an intake appointment. Participants work with Y staff trained in supportive cancer care to safely achieve their goals such as building muscle mass, strength, flexibility and endurance, and improving confidence and self-esteem.

Balance & Fall PreventionAs part of our mission, the Y seeks to support every older adult with their desire to stay active and healthy in spirit, mind and body. Because falls are the leading cause of injuries among older adults, the Y offers a fall prevention program for seniors: Moving for Better Balance. Classes are offered at a variety of locations in our region, including YMCA facilities, senior centers, and other community locations in El Paso & Teller Counties. The entire class can be done in a chair.

Y Weight LossProvides tools, knowledge and group support to help you develop a nutrition and exercise plan that works for you. The 12-week program is designed to help people seeking a healthier weight achieve their goals by making small, modest changes to their daily behaviors and forming sustainable healthy habits. Each session is 60 minutes and will include a private weigh-in, movement activities, nutrition education and goals for the following week.

Parkinson’s Exercise Program (PEP)The Y is partnering with Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery to create a neuroplasticity-principled program that integrates the latest exercise research. PEP provides a supportive exercise environment to optimize brain recovery and repair. We utilize exercise as medicine to increase quality of life so that you can get better and stay better.

Blood Pressure ProgramThe YMCA Blood Pressure Program is designed to help participants with hypertension lower their blood pressure through an evidence-based program that combines four elements: blood pressure self-monitoring, physical activity tracking, nutrition education, and personalized support.

Aging Mastery ProgramThe Aging Mastery Program® (AMP) is a 10 week course that empowers older adults to make and maintain small but impactful changes in their behaviors. The program incorporates evidence-informed materials, expert speakers, group discussion, peer support, and small rewards to give participants the skills and tools they need to achieve measurable improvements in managing their health, remaining economically secure, and contributing to society.

Annual Support CampaignNO ONE IS EVER TURNED AWAY FROM THE YMCA.

As an organization for all, the Y works tirelessly to help improve the health and well-being of our neighbors, regardless of their financial circumstances. Where others put up barriers, the Y opens doors and finds

ways for the entire community to access life-changing programs and support.

This simply would not be possible without you. It is because of our generous donors and Y champions that we can be for all and meet the needs of our community.

IN 2018, THE YMCA GAVE AWAY $1.7 MILLION IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

CREATING CONNECTIVITY FOR YOUTH AND TEENSEl Paso County has one of the highest teen suicide rates in the nation. At the Y, we believe programs

aimed at teens and children can play a critical role in helping to halt this shocking trend.

This year, we expanded our Middle School Initiative program to include 6th, 7th and 8th graders, providing not only a free Y membership but also a safe space to be after school every day, with a hot meal, trained staff,

and people who genuinely care about their health and well-being.

Programs like the Middle School Initiative means that children are cared for after school and do not go home to an empty house, where they may get into trouble without supervision. It gives kids a chance to connect with friends

they don’t see during the school day and encourages physical activity and the development of new hobbies.

DROWNING PREVENTIONIn the summer of 2018 alone, four children drowned or nearly drowned in pools right here in the Pikes Peak region. These tragic events are a reminder to us all that swim lessons shouldn’t be a luxury – every child should know exactly what to do

should they fall into a body of water.

No one knows this better than the Y. Not only did we invent swim lessons, but we also ensure that they are affordable and accessible to all children in our community. Because of our Safety Around Water program, 300 low-income children who had little to no experience in water now know exactly what to do should they accidentally become submerged. These lessons are offered free of charge thanks to of generous supporters like you who believe that even one drowning death is one too many.

SPECIALTY HEALTH PROGRAMSChronic diseases account for 7 in 10 deaths among Americans each year - the reason for the most deaths in the U.S. At

the Y, we are committed to preventing and combating chronic disease. Because of supporters like you, our evidenced-based programs can help keep our neighbors out of the doctor’s office – regardless of their financial circumstances.

Through Y programs, seniors are learning to prevent falls through our Moving for Better Balance classes. Cancer survivors are regaining their strength and confidence through our LIVESTRONG® program. Individuals with Parkinson’s are breaking free from the disease and learning how to walk on their own again. Your support is what ensures all our neighbors can be their

healthiest selves, regardless of financial means.
