🏀⚽🏈 For one afternoon, the Dowd YMCA belongs to the kids!
Join us Saturday, August 22, from 4–6 PM for a free, community-wide multi-sport sampler at the Dowd YMCA, part of ESPN’s Take Back Sports Initiative.
Kids and their families can rotate through hands-on stations featuring soccer, NFL FLAG Football, basketball, and athletic conditioning. Coaches will be at every stop to encourage participants, and families are invited to jump into the drills and cheer on their athletes.
No experience or YMCA membership is required. Stop by for ten minutes or stay for the whole event—just be sure to register in advance!
