BRING YOUR GAME

YOUTH LEAGUES, CAMPS, & CLINICS

At the Davis Family YMCA, we believe learning the basics of sports should be as exciting as the game. That’s why we’ve created the FUNdamental Clinics, Flag football, Lacross, Soccer and Basketball – a high-energy clinic series where kids build skills, make friends, and have an absolute ball! Whether your child is brand-new to the sport or looking to sharpen their game, there is a FUNdamental Clinic for them. Our mission is simple: develop skills, boost confidence, and bring FUN back into FUNdamentals. 

Kids will take part in instructional drills, small group play, and even full-field play, all guiding by instructors who focus on teaching individual skills and basic strategies. Let’s play, learn and grow together at the YMCA.

The Youth Development Roadmap

Our approach to youth sports is guided by the Youth Development Roadmap which outlines critical milestones that impact a child’s development. Youth Development is defined as the social-emotional, cognitive and physical process that all youth uniquely experience from birth to career.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Camp Fitch YMCA Polar Bear Plunge

Cost should never be the reason a child cannot attend Camp Fitch YMCA. To turn that mission into reality, Camp Fitch has hosted their annual Polar Bear Plunge for the last 15 years! Staff, alumni, campers, and anyone else who wants to join the cause jump into the icy waters of Lake Erie with the same purpose: to give the life-changing opportunity of camp to kids who would otherwise be unable to afford. All are welcome to join the fun (without any pressure to jump in Lake Erie)! We will have food, games, and raffles for everyone to participate in.

Davis Family YMCA Golf Outing

The Davis Family YMCA is committed to strengthening the foundations of our community. For 13 years we have hosted the annual golf outing, raising funds to ensure that YMCA programs and membership opportunities are accessible for all, regardless of financial means. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or trying it for the first time, this event is a hole-in-one for fun, fellowship, and community impact! Swing by for a day of golf, great company, and the chance to support the charitable work of the YMCA of Youngstown.

Central YMCA Gala

Join us for the First Annual Central Gala, where we’ll come together to celebrate the impact we’re making in our community. The theme for this year’s event, A Better Future Starts with You, will highlight the YMCA’s ongoing mission to strengthen our community through programs that promote healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility. The event will take place on September 25, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the Maronite Center. Please wear your semi-formal evening attire that reflects the elegance of the occasion and the spirit of connection we nurture at the Y. This is a chance to make a lasting difference while enjoying an evening filled with hope, impact, and inspiration. We look forward to sharing this experience with you!
