The YMCA Athlete Prayer
Win or lose, I pray before God, To do the best I can, to be a team player; To respect my teammates, my coaches and officials; To improve myself in spirit, mind and body.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Sports Sponsorships

Without the help of corporate sponsorships the operation of our sports leagues would not be possible. Sponsorships help bridge the cost of uniforms, field equipment, trophies, and will provide scholarship opportunities for children in our community. Remember, these sponsorships are charitable contributions and are tax deductible!
