the YMCA has fostered the growth of many young people as well as everyone else within our community .
The YMCA offers a variety of different athletic programs for young people to participate in , including basketball , soccer , dance , gymnastics , and swimming . These programs have allowed Covington youth to find peer groups within these sports while also participating in necessary exercise . These sports allow youth to increase their skills in communication , teamwork , athleticism , and leadership . All of the coaches for the different sports work on a volunteer basis , which provides great role models for our youth who play these sports .
The Covington Family YMCA , located at 2140 Newton Drive , is a not-forprofit organization whose mission is to promote healthy spirit , mind and body .
