Sports & Recreation for Youth and Adults

Regardless of the sport or skill level, the focus is on the full and equal participation of all. The goal is for every child to play in every game. Win or lose, kids learn about self improvement, fitness, safety, sportsmanship, cooperation, self-esteem, and respect for others in a fun, learning environment.

All coaches are volunteers. Parents are encouraged to assist in practices and games to promote the parent-child relationship. 



Youth Sports:

The Melrose YMCA offers many different youth sport classes during the year (September-June). The main objective in our youth sports programs is to give the participants basic knowledge and skills of a variety of sports.Many of our classes cater to beginner and intermediate levels of skill. 

In the fall, we offer a Travel Team Basketball Program for Grades 5-8. This is a more competitive league for the experienced player. Traveling to games in other towns is involved.

During January and February, we offer our Ski Club for Middle School students. Skiers will leave Melrose by bus Friday afternoons and head to Wachusett Mountain for several hours of skiing before returning to Melrose around 9:30 pm.

In the Spring II session, we offer a Tee Ball League to children ages 4 & 5. This league introduces the participants to the basics of the sport, competition, and good sportsmanship. We use parent volunteers as coaches, so this is a great program in which to spend quality time with your child.

During the summer, we offer Sports & More ... our summer sports camp. This camp is designed to involve the camper in at least eight different sports and one field trip per week. Sports include, but are not limited to basketball, soccer, tennis, lacrosse, and football.

All of our youth sports programs are designed to help develop caring, respect, responsibility, and honesty in all of our participants.

Adult Sports:

The Melrose YMCA offers an Adult Basketball League which is organized and run by volunteers. The league runs September – June on Monday & Wednesday evenings and is free for members, however, registration is required.

Four teams are formed and each team plays one game per night. They officiate their own game with the volunteer there just to keep things fair. No standings are kept and new teams are formed every eight weeks. This league is a great way to get some exercise, meet new friends and bring back those exciting youth basketball memories. Come on down and shoot with us!

In the fall, all levels of bicycle riders are welcome for recreational scenic bike tours that will continue throughout the fall. Begin a Sunday with a bike ride starting from and returning to the YMCA. Dates and locations to be announced each fall.

From September through June, we offer a Midday Volleyball program three days a week that is free to members.
