New Programs for Fall 1
We’re gearing up for a fantastic Fall 1 session!
Fall 1 runs:
Sept 12 – Oct 30
Enjoy a variety of programs for everyone in your family.
Over the summer, we (and probably you) have been incredibly inspired watching Team USA in Rio and now we’re excited to see the ripple effect as members in our community decide they too want to work hard in their athletic pursuits. At the YMCA, our programs are designed to help every individual achieve their potential, while learning the benefits of responsibility and respect for teammates, coaches, and all individuals providing support in ways big and small. What a fantastic tradition the summer games are!
As we move into fall, here are our Top Three Program suggestions:
# 3 GYMNASTICS CLASSES
Perhaps nothing is better than gymnastics for helping kids to develop balance and coordination, plus the confidence that’s won as a child takes on new challenges. All of our gymnastics classes use age-appropriate equipment, and our teaching program works with kids of all abilities.
Is your child a future Olympian? Explore the excitement that comes with representing your YMCA in state, regional, and national meets. What a blast our competitive team gymnasts had travelling this summer to California to compete in the YMCA National Gymnastics Championships. At all levels, our gymnasts are putting forth the effort of champions, including boys who join us in recreational classes and toddlers who enjoy classes with a parent or guardian.

# 2 YOUTH SPORTS LEAGUES
The Y is a great place to learn to love a sport and our upcoming fall leagues mean kids can have fun outdoors, while taking advantage of the best time of year to live (and be active outdoors) in New England. Try flag football, soccer, t-ball or cheerleading and be part of our Team YMCA. Don’t miss our early bird savings. When you sign up by the end of day Sunday August 28, you’ll save $15 per sport per child.
Our sports leagues emphasize skill development and the importance of good sportsmanship. Everyone plays and learns. A team sports shirt, cheer uniform, or football jersey is provided with registration. Family event will also be included to end the season in celebration of all athletes.

# 1 SWIM LESSONS & SWIM TEAM
Swimming is a life skill as well as great exercise and a challenging sport. We are passionate about making everyone confident and safe around the water, so we have swim lessons for all ages. Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. We are delighted by what Giovanni says about his swim lessons.
Transitioning back to school might mean it’s a good time to try something new. Explore our intramural and competitive swim programs, which are very popular. John Alberta grew up swimming at the Y and can do the butterfly as beautifully as the swimmers we watched in Rio. Here is John’s Y story. We are thrilled to learn John completed a successful first year swimming for the Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and wish him well in the year ahead.
Tryouts for our HAY LIGHTNING TEAM will take place Thursday, September 1. Visit teamunify.com for details.
There’s more… Yes!
We now offer DANCE CLASSES in an extended 15-week session.
You talked, we listened: Fall 1 dance classes in Foxboro and North Attleboro will run through the end of December, culminating with our holiday performances. Note, we still offer 7-week classes in Franklin (if this is your preference, we just ask you to keep an eye on the Stay Updated section of our website for Fall 2 registration reminders at the end of September).

Nutrition Coaching is now offered at our YMCA.
And we offer lots of options for helping kids and families make good choices in the every-day areas of their lives. Read more here.
Fall 1 runs 7 weeks, with the following exceptions:
- No classes held on Columbus Day (10/10/16).
Monday class participants will see a reduced fee in their cart when compared to the same class running on other days of the week to reflect one fewer class. - In Foxboro only… our Fall 1 session begins on Sunday 9/11/16.
If you’re registering for a Sunday class in Foxboro, please note that you will come a week early and that you will NOT come to class on the day of the Foxboro 5K (10/9/16). This allows a 7-week class and the ability for you to take part in our annual 5K/Fun Run and Family Day. Read more on the Foxoboro 5K here. - Sports Leagues kick off the weekend of Sept. 16. Season runs: September 16 – November 6, 2016. Teams will enjoy 3 weeks of practice, followed by 5 weeks of games.
