If variety is the “spice of life,” then you will relish
the Community Youth Center. From
the young boxer or wrestler to the aspiring dancer, gymnast or cheerleader to the martial arts enthusiast,
there is something for everybody at the CYC. If you’re a nature lover and treasure the
great outdoors, or you enjoy reading,
writing or exploring the academic world, the CYC has it all.
The CYC offers 10 recreational programs including
boxing, wrestling, judo, taekwondo,
gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, dance, cheerleading and sport specific conditioning. It
also offers an outdoor activities program where students can take excursions
to various points of interest throughout the Bay Area and Northern California
to learn more about the environment and what they can do to preserve it. All
of these programs are augmented with the Academic Excellence Center where students
can
do homework on their own, or get help from tutors.
The best thing is you don’t have to settle for only one program. The
CYC model offers and encourages kids to participate in several different programs. Schedules
are flexible and variety helps prevent staleness or burnout within a single program. Youth
should be encouraged to participate in multiple activities to diversely develop
their motor skills. Participating in multiple enriching activities
at a young
age helps set foundations for healthy lifestyles going forward.
Thus, the CYC promotes variety – yet, structure, discipline and order
in a young person’s life. The ultimate goal of the CYC is to teach
youth basic core values for developing inner strength and self confidence to
become good people with high character.
