SPORTS

(Please check our current schedule for availability.)

Baseball
Junior and Senior Leagues are available. Both leagues play by rules that are adapted to challenge the athlete's abilities. In Junior League, athletes hit off the tee and are assisted by their buddies when needed. The Senior League was developed for athletes with advanced skills and knowledge of the game who are able to play at a faster pace and do not need a buddy for assistance. This league also has teammates without disabilities who provide support and benefit the team by encouraging and helping the SACC athletes play to the best of their abilities.

Basketball
Athletes participate in half-court games and/or in work stations that concentrate on various skills such as shooting, stretching and exercising, dribbling, bounce passing and lay-up. The main emphasis is the skills of the game.

Bowling
Teams bowl two games. Bowlers have the option of bowling with or without gutter guards. Bowling ramps are available for those needing assistance with rolling the ball.

Gymnastics & Weight Training
Instruction is provided by the YMCA staff. Gymnastics is a very basic beginning level program involving skills such as forward rolls, walking on low balance beam, parallel bars, uneven bars and the trampoline. The weight training program is for athletes age 13 and above. It is an introduction to the form and technique of weight training and is designed to help improve coordination and strengthen muscles.

Martial Arts/Kung Fu
