SKATE PARKS
Shred the gnar! Our YMCA skate parks have everything a skater could ask for to have fun – ramps, plazas, concrete pools, rails and more! Just ask Shaun White and Tony Hawk, two of the most famous local pro-skaters who visit our skate parks. We offer group and private lessons for anyone looking to learn, contests for professional-level skaters, and plenty of options for skaters to improve their skills and tricks under the supervision of our trained staff at both locations. Our skate parks are located in Encinitas at the Magdalena Family YMCA or in Clairemont at the Mission Valley YMCA Krause Family Skate Park.
Martial Arts
Kick it with us! The Y is proud to offer high-quality martial art programs to both members and nonmembers at Ys across the county. Our instructors are among the best in their respective martial art, and provide an encouraging, non-intimidating, family-friendly environment for students of all ages. Here young artists can strengthen their bodies and minds as they learn the value of hard work, discipline, honor, integrity and respect.
Dance
Dancing is a creative experience that’s fun for all ages! Our goal is to provide a safe, fun and encouraging environment for dancers to build confidence and make new friends. Classes are offered at beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels for parent/child, preschool, teen or school age dancers.
Esports
Esports are video game competitions for individuals and teams for children ages 8 – 12 and ages 12 – 17. YMCA esports encourages and promotes healthy kids, families and communities by placing a priority on involvement and healthy competition, rather than rivalry, as well as the value of participation over winning, team building and the individual development of a positive self-image and mutual respect for others.
