PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE BEFORE REGISTERING. Register online at the bottom of the page or, come to the Darien YMCA front desk.
All proceeds from the Y Games will benefit the Darien YMCA Financial Assistance Program. Last year the Darien YMCA provided over $500,000 in financial assistance to children, families, and seniors in our community which included scholarships to camp and scholarships to special needs programs. The Y's goal is to never turn anyone away for inability to pay, and community participation in the Y Games can help continue to make this a reality.
The Y Games: Team Charity Challenge will be comprised of seven different fitness challenges, created by Jess Van Sciver, Health and Fitness Director, and Gene DeNota, Training and Exercise Director.
The 7 fitness challenges are designed to test specific muscle groups and movements, so be prepared for a wide variety of exercises! The challenges will not be announced until the morning of the event but we can reveal that they might include timed rock wall climbs, use of our strength training equipment, rowing machines or spin bikes, and agility challenges.
One event will take place in the Large Pool, so all competitors are required to bring a swimsuit and if desired, goggles and a swim cap.
Registration for the Y Games begins at 10:00AM on Tuesday, March 17th. Competitors may register online or at the YMCA Front Desk.
