Our mission & philosophy is to provide a fun, positive learning experience in a safe environment to military family members and authorized patrons aboard Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona. The Youth Sports program is an all-inclusive program that focuses on the concepts of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play. We also emphasize individual and team effort, eliminating the focus of winning at all costs. Through Youth Sports, children can develop an interest in participation, which can become the foundation for lifelong interests in sports, fitness, and good health. MCAS Yuma Youth Sports will develop and deliver quality and affordable youth sport programs to help build positive characteristics. MCAS Yuma Youth Sports will develop a sense of belonging, a sense of worth, and the ability to interact with their peers through participation in Youth Sports.
