YMCA Youth Sports programs fill kids' discretionary hours with positive activities and caring adult attention. Coaches--often volunteers, including many parents--emphasize teamwork, cooperation, and the development of skills and positive values. Youth sports programs are based on our four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

The uniform will consist of a Tuckahoe YMCA RED jersey, a Tuckahoe YMCA WHITE jersey, a black pair of shorts and a white pair of socks.

The WHITE jersey will be worn by the home team (team listed first on the game schedule) and the RED jersey will be worn by the away team (team listed second on the game schedule).
