Cooler weather is on the way, and that means more time to get outside and play. This fall, the YMCA of Greenville is inviting kids of all skill levels to join youth leagues for flag football, volleyball, and more. The goal? Help kids stay active, grow their skills, and make plenty of new friends.

Here’s a look at the leagues and how your child can join in on the fun this fall:

🏈 Flag Football

For the first time ever, the Y is launching an all-girls flag football league for ages 8-15. This league emphasizes empowerment, confidence, and community, giving young female athletes a space to grow. A co-ed league for ages 4-14 is also available.

🏐 Volleyball

The Y’s volleyball league is a developmental program designed to help kids of all experience levels learn the game and improve their abilities. Open to boys and girls ages 8-16, players will practice fundamentals, develop teamwork, and have a blast on the court — whether they’re just starting out or ready to take their game to the next level.

  • Registration deadline: Monday, Sept. 22 ($20 late fee applies after this date)
  • Practices begin: Week of Oct. 20
  • Games begin: Week of Nov. 1
  • Location: Both leagues are offered at Caine Halter, Eastside, George I. Theisen, and Prisma Health Family YMCAs.

Psst... Playing team sports helps kids learn valuable lessons they can carry with them for years to come. Plus, it’s a great way to enjoy some friendly competition.
