YMCA of Greater Montgomery
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Grandview Family YMCA is currently registering children for flag football, tackle football, and cheerleading for fall 2022. Whereas families use to register their children with the Millbrook Junior Mustangs Football Program, they will now register with the Grandview Family YMCA.
Even though this program is NEW to the Grandview Family YMCA, the YMCA of Greater Montgomery youth football league is a 65-year-old instructional and recreational tackle football league played by elementary students ages 5-12 and Flag football ages 3-12. The youth football program includes weekly games and practices focused on safety, proper game fundamentals, and individual participation.
YMCA Cheerleading offers girls ages 5-12 the chance to get active and have fun cheering on the YMCA Youth Sports teams. Cheerleaders will build self-confidence while developing social skills. Fundamentals of cheerleading will be taught including basic motions, jumps, cheers, and chants. Participants practice once weekly and then take their skills to the court or field to cheer at Y Youth Sports games on Saturdays.
“Families that are accustomed to the Junior Mustangs Football Program can expect the same amount of fun, excitement, and intense competition here at the YMCA, said Grandview Family YMCA Executive Director Bill Myers. We have years of experience with competitive sports and can’t wait to launch the football and cheer program here at the Y.”
Get your child involved in a community where they will improve their skills, make new friends, be active with other kids, and learn to love a sport at the Y. Claim your spot now at ymcamontgomery.org. Registrations will close on August 13.
