MEET DYLAN!
Dylan Lee, Age 8
How long has Dylan been participating in Youth Basketball at the Y?
About a year and half.
What skills, developmental or physical, have you seen Dylan grow in during the program?
Dylan can now dribble with both hands including cross over, and behind the back dribble. When on the court Dylan is now confident in himself, he wants the ball, but he also understands team play.
What’s Dylan’s favorite part of basketball?
That it involves a lot of coordination, teamwork, and skill (his words).
Anything else you’d like to add?
The coaching staff and the welcoming atmosphere at the Y are the main reasons we keep coming back. All kids learn and have a good time regardless of their skill level.

NEW equipment has arrived at the Berkeley Y! On the Hydrow, learn great technique from qualified coaches and try a workout!

Thank you, Julie Anne, for sharing an amazing yoga practice with our Berkeley Y! Best of luck on your new adventure and we wish you the best! We’ll be missing you 🌈🫶🏼

Happy Pride 🌈 Month!

Meet Shruti!

“Joining Berkeley YMCA was a game-changer for me. The group fitness classes not only kept me fit but brought me an immense sense of community and joy. The dedication of YMCA’s instructors is so inspiring. Through the Y ID fitness coaching, the Y instructors carved out a fitness program that worked for me and helped me develop a workout discipline that will last for my lifetime! Thank you YMCA for making me stronger and helping me love myself more. I am so grateful.”
