YOUTH SOCCER JUVENTUS ACADEMY NJ X LAKELAND HILLS FAMILY YMCA
At Lakeland Hills Family YMCA, we believe that soccer is more than just a game—it’s a way to inspire confidence, build friendships, and develop character both on and off the field. That’s why we’ve partnered with Juventus Academy of New Jersey, one of the world’s most respected names in soccer, to bring world-class training and youth development opportunities to our community. Together, our mission is to provide programs that blend elite instruction with the YMCA’s focus on accessibility, inclusion, and strengthening the whole child—mind, body, and spirit.
YOUTH BASKETBALL WITH TRIPLE THREAT HOOPS AAU
After over a hundred years of teaching this sport, we’ve learned a thing or two. YMCA basketball emphasizes fun while encouraging fundamental skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship. Our program gives kids exposure to positive competition as they continue to grow as a player, athlete and person by focusing on skills, rules, mechanics and basics like listening to coaches or being a good teammate to help participants refine their skills in a sport they love. Our coaches focus on the youth basketball players’ development of building core skills such as ball handling, defense, offense, rebounding, shooting, conditioning and more. We’re creating team players and future leaders through team sports.
We now have professional coaching by: Triple Threat Hoops grades K-4.
