it’s great energy; we learn so many steps like 

rumba, salsa, cha-cha. Zumba is my favorite; 

you really sweat and get a workout…besides

Kathy, Leonor, Robbie and Taylor are three generations of members at the 

Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. Like many families at the YMCA they are a 

testament to the motto that “ It’s For Everybody.” Whether it is swim lessons 

for the boys, a cycling class for mom or Zumba for grandma, this family is a 

true example of the YMCA spirit.

comfortable with. Here you see all ages and everyone smiles at you, it just makes you feel good.”

VOLUNTEEr COACHES 

The youth in our community need strong 

role models and leaders to help teach 

them the fundamentals of sports while 

incorporating the four core values of the 

YMCA (Caring, Honesty, Respect and 

Responsibility). Make a difference in a 

child’s life and teach them teamwork in a 

fun, noncompetitive environment. 

Our Youth and Pee Wee Sports Programs 

need volunteer coaches in order to make 

the program a success. We ask that you 

attend one coaches’ meeting prior to the 

beginning of the season and volunteer your 

time for the nine-week season. Coaching 

will only involve two hours on Saturdays. 

For more information on volunteer 

coaching, or to get your name on the 

coaching list, please contact Brian 

Graham at ext. 1024.

September until June. They organize 

special events throughout the year that 

benefit the YMCA: Harvest Fest, 

Casino Night, Spring Flower Sale and the 

December Poinsettia Sale! 

If you would like to be a part of this great 

organization then come to the YMCA 

on the second or fourth Wednesday of 

each month at 7:00 pm, from September 

through June, to be a part of the action!

thousands of children, families and seniors

you can help to support your Magdalena 

Ecke Family YMCA. 

SUPPOrT OUr ANNUAL 

GIVING CAmPAIGN 

The Annual Giving Campaign raises funds 

to support our youth, family and senior 

programs. Without these critically needed 

gifts, many of our programs would not exist 

today. Campaign gifts make it possible for 

us to: 

• Provide financial scholarships to low 

income families to send their children 

to camp, childcare, aquatics, sports, 

gymnastics and more. 

• Offer stimulating activities for seniors 

that allow them to socialize and enjoy 

excursions, valuable seminars; and social 

events, at no cost to them. 

• Provide teen dances to more than 400 

teens every month. 

• Partner with community organizations 

such as Casa de Amparo and the 

Community Resource Center to provide

ADVENTUrE CLUBS 

Our Adventure Clubs allow one parent to bond one-on-one with their son or daughter over a camping weekend.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN 

Join one of the largest programs the YMCA offers by going camping with your 

son or daughter. You will create memories that will last a lifetime. The Adventure 

Club season runs from September to June but we accept members year-round. 

Organized geographically, you will attend one meeting and one scheduled 

weekend activity per month with your tribe and nation. Weekend activities may 

include a campout in the desert, mountains, beaches and even Catalina Island. 

All new members must belong to a nation and tribe to register for the events. 

Call Tommi Mann at ext. 1022 to join a tribe today! 

“Words can’t express how grateful we are for having the 

Ecke YMCA Adventure Guides. The Guides program has 

allowed us to have the time of our lives while growing closer 

as father and son. We will cherish these memories for 

years to come.” 

Terrence F. Sheehy 



“Just an awesome weekend, great 

weather and very well organized. 

Fun from the time we left, the 

boat trip was such a great start, 

water fights, hiking, swimming, 

ocean kayaking and seeing the 

wild buffalo was so cool. Reece 

and I had a blast, I just don’t 

know who had the most fun…” 

Colin Rawson

OPENING DAY! 

What a great way to kick off the Adventure 

Club season. Hoya Hoya! This event will 

take place on August 21 at the Magdalena 

Ecke Family YMCA. Bring a new Adventure 

Club participant to Opening Day and 

when your friend registers for the program 

you will be entered to win a FREE trip to 

Catalina. (1 parent + 1 child) 

“The Indian Princesses 

program builds strong 

bonds between dads 

and daughters. For a few 

days each month we put 

everything else aside - no 

televisions, business calls 

or moms - to spend quality 

time together having fun in 

the most beautiful places in 

San Diego County. These 

are memories my girls 

talk about over and over. 

While each trip is unique 

and memorable, seeing old 

friends for one weekend 

a month is the type of 

consistency that makes you 

wish your daughters could 

stay in the program forever.” 

Matthew P. Siben

TNT’s Box Lacrosse consists of a 1/2 hour

and is followed by an hour-game session 

(with exception to the Men’s Summer 

League which consists of a two-hour game). 

Box Lacrosse is a fast paced 6v6 arena 

game. All five field players play offense and 

defense. With a smaller field and off the 

wall play, this league is sure to improve 

any individual’s fundamental skills and 

endurance. Box Lacrosse also improves the 

understanding of offensive and defensive 

strategies which will translate into a better 

understanding of outdoor lacrosse. All 

players will receive a lacrosse jersey. Each 

participant must have a current medical 

release/liability form on file with the 

Registration Department in order to play in 

the league. All league inquiries should be

PEE WEE SPORTS LEAGUES 

Join the excitement this year with our Pee Wee Sports program. The program is offered 

to boys and girls ages 3-7 years. Pee Wee Sports is a great way to introduce our young 

participants to sports in a non-competitive atmosphere. Participants are divided into 

teams according to age groups. Volunteer coaches encourage the basics of the sport and 

team work. Each participant receives a team t-shirt and award. This program occurs on 

Saturdays over a 10-week period which includes an Orientation Day. On Orientaton 

Day, come meet your coach, teammates and pick your team name. Orientation times 

do not reflect actual game times during the season. Schedules for games will 

be handed out at orientation. Practices are 25 minutes prior to the game and then 

followed by a 25-minute game. 

The Pee Wee Sports programs require volunteer coaches to make it a fun and exciting 

learning experience. For more information on any Pee Wee Sports program, or to 

become a volunteer coach, please contact Brian Graham at ext. 1024. 

LIL’ rOOKIES

the “world of sports” in a fun relaxed

carefully designed to meet the individual 

developmental needs of potty-trained 

children ages 2½-5 years. Programs focus 

on social and character development for 

each child. There are frequent and positive 

opportunities for parents to be involved. 

The YMCA provides a safe environment 

with structured and self-select activities 

appropriate to settings. Children are 

allowed to learn through play, both 

individually and in groups. Every program 

strives to facilitate the development of a 

positive set of values in each child that 

will carry with them through life: to teach 

each child to relate to others in a way 

that is comfortable, respectful and reflects 

appreciation for individual differences, 

and to develop positive self-image through 

a variety of experience…all in a fun, 

supportive and safe environment. 

As a member of the YMCA of San Diego 

County Child Development Program Team, 

each YMCA staff member accepts the 

responsibility of ensuring the safety of every 

child; of respecting the values and diversity 

each family holds; of caring for each child 

with warmth and compassion; and always 

demonstrating honesty, caring, respect 

and responsibility.
