Basketball

Youth -- Youth basketball is offered in summer and winter for ages 3-18.

Adult -- Adult basketball is offered in the winter season (usually starts November) for Adults 18+ for two divisions. Division I league play is more competitive than Division II; can register individually or as a team.

High School -- summer league is offered for all area high schools. This is a good chance for high school teams to engage in inter-league play outside of the regular school setting and will afford an opportunity for players to “brush up” on their skills before the school season starts; generally runs June-August.

Cheerleading

We offer cheerleading during football and basketball seasons for girls ages 5-13. Our cheer instructors will focus on teaching basic cheerleading fundamentals and some great cheers! The cheerleaders will cheer at all home games for the tackle football team and a number of the basketball games. Please see the Wellness Director for more details or Guest Services for registration information.

Flag Football

We offer a flag football program for 5-14 years, featuring inter-YMCA play with other YMCA of Greensboro branches. Flag Football is offered in spring and fall. Please see Guest Services to register or our Sports Director for more information.

Reindeer Romp

The Reindeer Romp is the annual 5K Road Race, which begins and ends at the Ragsdale Family YMCA. The race continues along a beautiful certified course through Jamestown, which includes some rolling hills. All net proceeds from the race benefits our annual support campaign, We Build People, keeping the YMCA accessible to all. The Reindeer Romp is held in the early part of December and accommodates all age groups. Please see Guest Services to register!

Soccer

Kiddie Kickers soccer is offered in spring and fall for youth ages 3-8. Participants will learn basic soccer skills while meeting new friends and having lots of fun! Please see Guest Services to register or our Sports Director for more information.

Tackle Football

We offer a tackle football program, in conjunction with the 7 county Central Piedmont Football league, for youth ages 7-12. This program is more competitive than the Flag Football league. The season runs from on or about August 1st to on or about November 15th. During the pre-season, teams practice 4 times per week until schools starts and 3 times per week from the start of school until the first game. During the regular season, teams practice 2 nights per week and play games on Saturdays. Games typically begin the first Saturday after Labor Day. Home games are played at Ragsdale High School. Away games are played at other teams locations and can require travel from 15 to 70 miles. Registration begins around May 1st. Registration is limited, as the Ragsdale YMCA fields only 2 teams in each of the league’s 3 age groups. Please see Guest Services to register, or our Sports Director for more information. For more information on the Central Piedmont Football League, check out the league’s website at www.centralpiedmontfootball.org
