Reach Your BestCompetitive Teams at the Y
Hard Work, Big Dreams, Great Friendships
The Y’s competitive programs help youth value hard work, reach for excellence and enjoy spirited competition — all while making new friends, improving skills and staying active. Whether your child is drawn to the grace and power of gymnastics or the energy and artistry of dance, the Y has a competitive team built for them. Our programs are led by experienced coaches who are committed to developing the whole athlete — in skill, character and confidence. Pre-team programs and competitive teams at Level 3 and up are offered year-round.
Our Competitive Programs
The YMCA of the Fox Cities offers two competitive team programs. Explore each one to find the right fit for your athlete.
How to Join a Competitive Team
Youth are recommended to join our pre-team and competitive team programs by their class instructors. Skill evaluations are also available upon request for those who would like to be assessed for team placement. Pre-team programs give younger or developing athletes the foundation they need before moving into full competitive programming. If you are interested in learning more or requesting an evaluation, reach out to our Gymnastics Director, Jenna Ly.
Year-Round Competition
Built for Every Level of Athlete
Our competitive programs are designed to meet athletes where they are and push them toward their personal best. Pre-team athletes build foundational skills in a supportive environment, while Level 3 and up competitors train with focus, discipline and passion. All athletes benefit from coaching that emphasizes not just performance, but values like perseverance, teamwork and respect. Year-round programming ensures that your athlete keeps growing — in the gym and beyond it.
More Than a Sport
Competitive athletics at the Y is about more than trophies and scores — it is about the kind of growth that happens through hard work, setbacks and determination. Our coaches build relationships with athletes and help them develop the confidence and grit that carries over into every area of life. We celebrate individual achievement while fostering a team culture where everyone belongs and every athlete is encouraged. At the Y, competition is just the beginning.
