Youth Strength Training
The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives. And the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.

As part of our ongoing effort to stand for youth development in our community, the Massillon Family YMCA is offering Youth Strength Training Classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:15p to 6:45p. Classes begin in August and will continue monthly. This co-ed class is held in our youth fitness center and led by a trainer. The class is designed to show participants, ages 7-12, how to properly use equipment and build strength. Our youth fitness center has equipment designed especially for children in this age range.

The cost for this program is $30 for the month or just $6 with a family membership. Registration for the August session has already begun and is available in person at the Y or online at www.WestStarkY.org. Thanks to the support of Y members, the United Way, and generous contributions from individuals, the Y welcomes all who wish to participate and annually raises scholarship funds to help make that possible. Please let us know if we may serve you or your family in this way.

Fall Soccer Registration
The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives. And the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in sports at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.

As we continue to stand for youth development in our community, the YMCA of Western Stark County is happy to announce that registration is now open for the Fall Soccer League including instructional soccer for boys and girls ages 3 to 5 and the youth soccer league for boys and girls ages 6 to 17 (broken down into age appropriate divisions). Instructional soccer will be on Monday nights from September 11th through October 9th. As for the youth soccer league, practices will start the week of August 29th or September 5th and games will begin the week of September 12th or 19th depending on the age group. The league will end October 27th.

Registration for fall soccer ends August 21st. Instructional soccer is just $19, $15 with a Y membership, or just $6 with a family membership. The youth soccer league is $34, $26 with a Y membership, or just $6 with a family membership. There is also a $7 fee to cover the cost of T-shirts. At the Y, we want every child to be able to participate in youth soccer. Because of this, financial assistance is available and we will not turn away anyone due to an inability to pay.
