A variety of special events, road trips and no cost sport clinics are arranged periodically. Used as an introduction to adapted sports and healthy lifestyles, these monthly sport clinics are the perfect opportunity to try something new. Past clinics have included kayaking, swimming, golf, tennis and cycling. Check back often to see what's coming up and bring a friend. YMCA of the Brandywine Valley
