YMCA free kids sports program coming to Manchester

The Sport Port program, powered by Y on the Fly, is a mobile YMCA delivering games, activities and healthy snacks to children and they are coming to Manchester! Trained Y staff will lead sport sampling workshops and facilitate games and free play opportunities for youth for kids aged 5 to 13 on Mondays from 5:15 to 6:45 pm at Manchester United Methodist Church, located at 501 Ann Arbor Street from September 13 running through October 18.

Each weekly session will offer at least 60 minutes of activities at each stop, with the remaining 30 minutes spent preparing healthy snacks with children. Sports include basketball, flag football, soccer, lacrosse, floor hockey, disc golf, and much more.

There is no cost to participate but pre-registration is requested. You can register at bit.ly/YSportPort. Parents must check in their child the first time they participate; after this, children can check themselves in. Please note, in case of inclement weather (thunder, lightening, heavy rain) SportPort will be cancelled. Questions? Please contact Jermaine Wells at jwells@annarborymca.org.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
