Mission YMCA Martial Arts/Fitness Program

Mission YMCA Youth Fitness classes provide kids the opportunity to participate in a unique physical activity environment that facilitates personal and social responsibility.  Participants learn how to build a solid physical activity foundation for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong fitness. Kids of all levels of skill and fitness are welcome!

This is a great opportunity for children to start their lifelong sport experience on the right foot. We use fun activities to teach children the basic fundamentals of sports and focus on development instead of competition. Children have the opportunity to learn in a fun and caring environment with other children of their own age.
