A growing challenge in youth sports is the loss of what matters most—our kids’ enjoyment, growth, and confidence in the very spaces meant to nurture them.

When adult behavior brings pressure, criticism, or ego into the game, it changes the experience—and quietly contributes to the decline in participation.

69% of referees say sportsmanship is only getting worse.

We have the power to change that. Take the pledge to create more positive experiences for all: 👉 https://positivecoach.org/take-back-sports/

Join us and ESPN’s Take Back Sports initiative to ensure sports are welcoming, age-appropriate, and fun for everyone—no matter their background, skill level, or financial situation.

Youth sports should put kids first—building character, confidence, and teamwork in a positive environment. From now through Friday, May 2, you can help make that possible for many more.

Donate to our Get a Kid in the Game fundraiser for youth sports today:

Your gift helps ensure programs stay focused on encouragement, sportsmanship, and growth — not pressure — so every child has the chance to develop skills and feel supported. As one of our Y families expressed:

“The YMCA puts kids first by focusing on teamwork, sportsmanship, and encouragement rather than competition.”

At the Mills County YMCA, our Glenwood, Iowa location, two of our members, Margaret, 99 years young, and Abigail, 5 years old, share a swim together.

From first splashes to a lifetime of movement, this is what it means to belong at the Y—every age, every stage, together.

It doesn’t end here—or even today. Every day, every adult has a role to play in keeping the children in our communities safe.

A special thank you to Project Harmony for providing blue pinwheels to each of our YMCA of Greater Omaha locations to help raise awareness throughout the week and beyond.

Shoes are more than just something we wear.

They protect our health, support daily movement, and open the door to school, work, opportunity and confidence.

Help us continue making an impact by donating new or gently used shoes at any YMCA of Greater Omaha location through April 19.

Collection boxes are available in main lobby at any of our 13 locations. To learn more about this initiative: https://www.cornhusker.bank/day-without-shoes-omaha

All donations for A Day Without Shoes, put on by our friends at Cornhusker Bank, will benefit the Stephen Center.

Know. See. Respond.

Our staff are feeling a little extra blue today in support of Child Abuse Prevention Month, a visible reminder of the role we all play in keeping kids safe.

Creating safe, supportive spaces for children is at the heart of everything we do. But safety doesn't stop at our doors!

In today's connected world, understanding how kids interact online, and knowing what to look for, matters more than ever—and it all starts with awareness.

“We pledge to protect children.”

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Will you join us?

Every day, our staff are committed to creating safe, supportive spaces—within our walls, on the playing field, in the communities we serve, and online.

As part of Five Days of Action® this week, we’re joining Ys across the country to stand up for child safety—both in person and online. Through Know. See. Respond., we’re raising awareness and equipping our community with the tools to recognize, prevent, and respond to abuse.

As a Praesidium-accredited organization, every staff member—full-time and part-time—is trained to recognize warning signs, maintain appropriate boundaries, supervise children with care, and respond appropriately when concerns arise.

Because safety is not a one-time conversation. It is part of our daily culture and a responsibility we carry in every interaction, every program, and every space we create.

Feeling especially grateful this Easter season. 💙

In the days leading up to the holiday, our branches were buzzing with activity. From egg hunts outside to poolside—it’s always meaningful to see our members and families show up, celebrate, and create memories with us.

These moments—big and small—are what make the Y such a wonderful place to belong.

Thank you for spending some time with us and being part of our community! We hope your weekend was filled with hope, renewal and much needed time to recharge with those you love.
