Fall is almost here — and it’s the perfect time for kids to get outside + have some fun. One of the best ways to do this? Joining the YMCA of Greenville’s youth sports program.

Getting active helps your kid:

  • Build healthy habits that last a lifetime
  • Manage stress, anxiety, and challenging emotions
  • Participate in organized sports, one of the Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets — aka, key experiences that help kids grow into well-adjusted adults
