YMCA Jr. Mets

YMCA Jr. Mets is a comprehensive 8-week youth baseball program that emphasizes the fun of playing baseball while developing athletic and social skills, practicing the YMCA’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. In addition, the program incorporates a health and wellness curriculum not only for the participants but their families too.

Since 1995 the YMCA has introduced thousands of young people to baseball, sportsmanship and feelings of improved self-esteem and achievement. In the summer of 2009, over 1,100 New York City youth participated at 8 YMCAs: Cross Island, Flatbush, Greenpoint, Jamaica, Long Island City, North Brooklyn, South Shore and Vanderbilt.

YMCA Jr. Mets is operated with sponsorship by the New York Mets.
