We run a number of sports classes across our centres, whether you want to get competitive, improve your technique or just try something new.
At the YMCA Hawker Centre adult Tennis classes take place every Monday evening and Wednesday lunchtime, with courses for beginners and improvers. Courses for children are hugely popular, running most days after school and during school holidays.
At YMCA Wimbledon on a Tuesday evening you can try your hand at Volleyball, a sport actually invented at Holyoke YMCA, Massachusetts in 1895. If you can't wait until the weekend to play Football, there is an indoor session that runs every Friday lunchtime (a great way to run off the stresses of the week with workmates). If you prefer a sport to be a little more relaxing, YMCA Wimbledon also offer Indoor Bowls on a Friday afternoon.
We also run Karate, Aikido and Chinese Kickboxing across our centres if you’d like to work on your Martial Art skills. They’re a great way to get fit as they work the whole body, improving flexibility and balance.
