Mar Unified School District.

The YMCA program offers age-appropriate after school

enrichment activities designed to support academic

achievements. Beyond academics, the YMCA after-school

programs are dedicated to teaching each of the six pillars

of character and increasing assets in our youth. Through

programs such as these, the Y is helping youth develop

skills such as self-regulation, communication, problem solving,

negotiation and critical thinking. We know that all of these

skills make learning easier as students grow. The students

also receive healthy snacks and are involved in recreational

activities aimed at increasing their activity and lowering the

incidence of childhood obesity.

Year-Round Sports Programs

Five Cities Youth

Roller Hockey

Ages: 5-17

Targeted to all skill levels, including

beginners, the Roller Hockey program was developed to offer children an alternative sport that provides great body conditioning without the “down time” seen in other sports such as baseball.

Even if your child doesn't’t know how

to skate, they are encouraged to try

this sport.  The YMCA’s experienced

coaches will teach all of the fundamentals

of the sport, including how to skate and

how to improve skating for the sport. 

An introductory clinic and equipment

swap meet will be held at Santa Rosa Park

in San Luis Obispo on Saturday, March 8th

from 9:30 to 12:30 pm.  The free clinic is a

great way for those who may be interested

in the sport to learn more and see what it entails.

The program strives to encourage skill

development, self-confidence and positive

peer interaction. It also provides a unique

opportunity for parents to share quality time

with the children, and have fun doing it!
