Today we celebrate the kick off to our inaugural youth sports flag football season 🏈! Nearly 200 boys and girls (6 to 9 years old) from the Greater Austin area are learning fundamentals, teamwork and names of new friends on day one. 🙌 Flag football is one of the fastest growing youth sports in the US. It’s a safer alternative that gets kids moving, running, and enjoying the physicality of football without the risks associated with full-contact version. #austintx #monprofitorganization #flagfootball #youthsports #activekids

Keeping Greater Austin Communities Strong
About us
For nearly 75 years, the Greater Austin Y has evolved to address each of the community's greatest needs. From an expecting family searching for child care to seniors playing pickleball, the Y touches every phase of life and nutures happier, healthier people, a stronger community and a better world. We are elevating the quality of life in Greater Austin by boldly expanding access for all children, adults, families and seniors in our dynamically growing community. Why the Y matters in Greater Austin: * Parents lack affordable childcare * Children need to be safe near water * All kids need sports or play for physical, psychological and social benefits * Teens need engaging ways to build skills * Adults need fitness for overall wellness * Everyone deserves access to mental health care Founded in 1953 and anchored in three Central Texas counties, the Y is a $50+ million community enterprise that serves nearly 100,000 people annually through eight centers. We also operate 10 early learning centers and provide afterschool education and care at more than 75 licensed campuses in four school districts. Unlike any other organization in the region, the Austin Y has the unique ability to welcome, educate and elevate all, and is committed to creating innovative programs, places…and people. Greater Austin YMCA is a nonprofit organization recognized as tax-exempt under Internal Revenue code section 501(c)(3).
