The purpose of the Green Bay YMCA sports program is to use competition as a tool for learning the life-long values of goal-setting and hard work for reward. Participants should learn to accept winning with humility and defeat with dignity and strive to try harder. The Green Bay YMCA competitive gymnastics team exists to benefit children who show an interest in training and competing. The objectives of the program are to help these young athletes safely develop to their full potential, while clarifying their personal values. The team is a tool to reach and teach youth important life values and decision- making skills. The program stresses self-improvement. Winning is a secondary goal.
