New! Fast paced international women's sport adapted from basketball. The game is played on a regulation sized court but here's the catch, no backboard! Check it out at our free clinic, Monday, April 2, 7-8pm. Sign up at the Courtesy Desk today! Contact Cody for more information.
MSM (Middle School Mania)
Middle school age kids are invited to the Valparaiso Family YMCA’s Middle School Mania Night held two Saturdays every month! Middle School Mania (MSM) will be held at the Valparaiso Family YMCA and is open to all boys and girls in grades 6, 7, and 8 in the Porter County area.
A host of activities are offered each session including open gym for basketball, ping pong, Xbox and Wii games, board and card games, art activities, and a DJ with music and dancing. For the teen artists out there, bring your creativity so you can help us draw and design our next MSM Night flyer!
Listed below are the dates for MSM nights up to June!
- April 14th and 28th
- May 12th and 19th
- June 2nd
To ensure everyone’s safety, MSM Night is held in a “Lock-in” fashion; once the teens sign in, they will remain in the building until pick-up time. A fee of $5.00 per teen will be paid upon arrival. No registration is required.
Middle School Mania Night is an opportunity for young teens to meet new friends and have fun in a safe environment. As with all Y-sponsored events, YMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility are modeled and enforced. All participants are expected to wear attire appropriate to the Y values, including shorts and shirts of appropriate length, tennis shoes, and clothing free of inappropriate or offensive language or images.
MSM Nights could not be held without the support from the Porter Health & Wellness Fund of the Porter County Community Foundation. The Valparaiso Family YMCA is located at 1201 Cumberland Crossing Drive in Valparaiso. Check us out online at www.valpoymca.org . For any questions regarding the event, please call 219-462- 4185 or email lbaker@valpoymca.org or cbishoff@valpoymca.org
