Little Tykes Sports at the Fremont Family YMCA is returning this Summer for a beginner's dive into Basketball and Tee-Ball! Little Tykes is designed to introduce sports to the ages 3-5 by teaching them the fundamental skills of the sports played each season. This is a perfect opportunity to discover what sports kids love and want to continue in the future, as well as teach sportsmanship, teamwork, and independence.

Tuesday Session (June 17 - July 22) is officially FULL!

By popular demand, FFY has opened a second session for Wednesdays (June 18 - July 23) from 6pm-7pm. Register by clicking the link HERE!

Our Little Dribblers Basketball program provides children with a thorough introduction to basketball fundamentals through engaging, age-appropriate activities designed to build coordination, confidence, and basic skills.
