Salem Y
Sports & GymnasticsSports
The Salem YMCA was the first YMCA in the country to offer youth programming. And we are still making a difference! The tradition continues with youth leagues, skill development classes, kids' fun nights and our family events.
It's back to the basics for over 50 children a week with sports like soccer, flag football and kickball. The fun doesn't stop there! Twice a month Salem hosts kids' fun nights. Over 40 children participate in swimming, gym games, and arts & crafts.
At the YMCA, parents share special times with their young ones in tumbling classes, art classes and our parent playgroup. And preschoolers learn a variety of sports in our Sports Jam class.
Here are some of the ongoing Sports & Recreation programs offered at the Salem YMCA:
- Preschool Sports Jam

Gymnastics
Gymnastics at the Salem Y is fun, fun, fun! And it's fun for more than just the kids with our parent/child gymnastics. Parents get in on the action too and enjoy the social interaction with other parents.
The preschool gymnasts are constantly in motion and keep the instructors on their toes. Drill stations, obstacle courses and the myriad of preschool gym equipment are just a few of the things that preschoolers enjoy each week during our preschool classes.
For the older and more serious gymnasts, our North Shore YMCA provides skilled, progressive gymnastics programs at the nearby Greater Beverly YMCA Gymnastics Center and the Lynch/van Otterloo YMCA Gymnastics Center. Here are some of the ongoing preschool Gymnastics programs we offer:
- Parent/Tot Gym
- Preschool Lessons
