Y-WINNERS FALL SOCCER
Our fall youth soccer league is a great opportunity for kids of all ages to have fun learning the game of soccer. This will be a 5- game season played in four weeks so that all teams will have at least one double header. Games will start mid- September. Participation is open to kids ages 4-18 (Birth date by August 1). Ages: Rookies 4-6 (not in first grade); 1st & 2nd grade; 3rd & 4th grade; 5th , 6th & 7th grade; 8th grade and up (with enough players).

The registration deadline is August 28. This league is not just limited to Brookfield. Everyone is invited to play. Anyone wanting to play, please turn your sign-up sheet in at the YMCA located at 1140 W. Helm St. There may not be any additional players allowed after August 29.

The cost will be $15 for members and $25 for non-members on or before the deadline. After August 28, the fees are $20 for YMCA members and $35 for all others. Please sign up early so we may start the league on time to avoid cool weather. More youth programs...

YMCA: BUILDING STRONG FAMILIES

Current health statistics clearly illustrate ‘why’ it’s so important for kids and adults alike to lead healthier lifestyles.
At the YMCA, we believe families that are strong play a critical role in ‘how’ to make it happen.

• Families grow stronger and healthier by focusing goals on more than just adding minutes of exercise and cutting out unhealthy snacks.

• Goals which balance, nurture and strengthen spirit, mind and body are the key to building healthier families for the long term. It’s really the ultimate exercise.

• Studies confirm again and again the important role that family interaction and strengthening play in the long-term health and well being of its individual members.

• Participating in family rituals that foster togetherness and communication is strongly linked to adolescent mental health. Teens who eat with their families most days have better grades and less depression and substance abuse than kids who frequently eat on their own.

• University studies show that young kids and teens whom eat regularly with their families eat more fruits, vegetables, fiber and whole grains and consume less soda and snack food.

• A 2004 YMCA of the USA study found that parents who received support from community organizations such as YMCAs reported positive experiences for their children, saying the programs enabled their children to engage with other kids, provided positive influence and offered role models.

BIBLE STUDY

Mike White will lead a non-denominational Bible Study every Wednesday at noon until 1:00 p.m. in the YMCA conference room.

Meeting the needs of the Linn County Area, the YMCA provides quality programming for people of all ages, races, and religions. Guided by the principles of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility, YMCA activities enrich the physical, social, and spiritual well-being of our children, families, and community.

Helping so many people would not be possible without the YMCA Annual Partners with Youth Campaign for Financial Assistance, which provides scholarships to individuals and families in need. Imagine the possibilities...

• $25 would provide the opportunity for a child to participate in a YMCA sports program that could not afford to.

• $75 will give a child, who would otherwise have no place to go a year membership to the YMCA

• $100 would help a needy family join the YMCA and have an opportunity for a healthy lifestyle that they would otherwise not have.
