Activities for Teens

Kids in grades 7-11 are invited to Hillsborough YMCA each Friday night through June 15, 2018 from 6:30-9:45pm for Planet Y where they can enjoy our Open Gym to play any sport they’d like, the fitness center where they can receive an equipment orientation, and the pool when available.

Each Friday will include organized basketball games/tournaments (except 10/27, 11/24, 12/29 [TBD] and 6/1).

While their focus is on their friends and having fun, our focus is on engaging them in healthy habits and good decision-making. Planet Y is free for Y members and just $3 per night for community members.
