Adaptive sports programs at the Y provide children and adults with disabilities the chance to play sports and participate in learning opportunities in a safe, fun atmosphere.


The Y offers many adaptive sports programs year-round including basketball, baseball, bowling, and much more!

 

 

 

In Summer 2024, the Gateway Region YMCA - in partnership with Cardinals Care, Boniface Foundation, and Miracle League - unveiled the new $4.7 million YMCA Adaptive Sports Complex on the campus of the South County Y.
