Adult Sports Programs

Did you know that the YMCA invented basketball? It’s true! In 1891, a physical education teacher at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts was challenged to develop an exciting indoor winter game for his students. Voila! Basketball was born.

Today, you can play basketball at the Akron Area YMCA, and a lot more! We offer all kinds of different sports for all ages, and our leagues, teams and classes offer more than just a chance to improve your skills and fitness—you'll get to have fun with the great people who make up our YMCA!


Leagues

Join (or start!) a sports league at your local membership branch today! The focus of our leagues is fun—they are recreational and relaxed. Participants take an active role in running the leagues by helping with scorekeeping, officiating, and rule revisions. Contact your local branch to find out when their next Basketball, Wallyball, Racquetball, Softball, or Volleyball is forming.

  

Martial Arts

Martial Arts is a great way to learn balance, coordination, control, and discipline. You will be taught the basics of martial arts including blocking, defense, kicking, and punching.
