Through YMCA of the Sandhills Youth Sports programs, kids in Harnett County and Cumberland County gain more than just athletic skills—they learn teamwork resilience, and confidence. Our programs include clinics with dedicated coaches and instructors support each child's growth.
Children reach their full potential when they are healthy in spirit, mind, and body. That's why the Y connects kids to caring adult role models whose example and leadership teach critical character values and life skills ranging from how to be a good student, a good sport and a good citizen-while teaching the fundaments of a sport and having fun!
Come join us to get in the game!
