ABOUT US

The Mays Family YMCA was established in 2000 as a sports only facility. In January 2007, the YMCA renovated their program building to become an express fitness facility.   This location offers a variety of amenities which include a: wellness floor, large group exercise room, mind and body studio, ten soccer fields, four baseball fields, throwing lanes, and batting cages.  We offer programs such as youth sports, martial arts, childwatch, kidz club, Pilates Reformer classes, personal training, silver sneakers, and much more.

We work hard to serve all members in an equal way. It is important to us that no one is turned away due to the inability to pay; financial assistance is available to those in need through our Open Door scholarship program.

Our YMCA promotes the Pillars of Character. The goal is for everyone who participates with the YMCA to incorporate honesty, caring, respect, responsibility and faith, our core values, into everything they do. Our core values are present in everything we do; youth sports programs, customer service and signage throughout the facility.

Over the past years, the Mays YMCA has developed a lifelong relationship with our community. The YMCA has been a great fit in the Stone Oak area. The entire community has been very supportive of our efforts and we are very excited for our opportunity to continue to serve the Stone Oak community for years to come.

SEVEN PILLARS OF YMCA YOUTH SPORTS

• Everyone plays. Everyone receives equal practice time and plays at least half of every game.

• Safety first. Children may get hurt playing sports, but we do all we can to prevent injuries. We’ve modified each sport to make it safer and more enjoyable to play.

• Fair play. Fair play is about more than playing by the rules. We’re more interested in developing children’s character through sport than in developing a few highly skilled players.

• Positive competition. Learning to compete is important for children, and learning to cooperate in a competitive world is an essential lesson of life. These are the lessons we want to teach through Y Youth Sports.

• Family involvement. In addition to serving as volunteer coaches, officials and timekeepers, we encourage parents to be at practices and games to support their child’s participation.

• Sport for all. Y Youth Sports is an inclusive sport program. We offer programs to all children regardless of race, gender, religion or ability. We support and appreciate the diversity of children and encourage children and their parents to do the same.

• Sport for fun. Children love the challenge of mastering the skills of the game, playing with their friends and competing with their peers. While we enjoy adults’ participation, remember that sports are for the kids—we want them have fun.
