Sports and Activities
YMCA committed to supporting everyone to live active lives for over 175 years
All of our sporting facilities are now fully open and if you’re keen to get active we would love to see you at YMCA Village in Newark.
Sport does more than nurture physical health – it builds community, teaches confidence and plays a huge part in mental wellness.
Our charity works to make sport inclusive and easy to access, with opportunities for a variety of abilities and interests.

All overseen by a member of our sporting team they’re sessions where you can set goals and develop your overall fitness.
