Competive sports teach you how to win honestly & lose with dignity. This teaches you how to deal with successes and failures in life. Competive sports build camaraderie, friendship and promote social interaction far more than any spin or exercise class. Sports isn't totally about champions. It is about the joy of competition & self improvement. It would be a big mistake for the Y to eliminate the courts

More importantly, handball gets people out of the conditioning center and challenges their mind and body. I have enjoyed this fast paced sport for the past 35 years and I can tell you that it has help develop my whole person - mind, body and spirit. I got my start at the Saint John YMCA and I will be forever grateful.

The YMCA needs to understand that if designed properly, court facilites can be a very succesful part of their fitness facilities. The problem with the Y in many places is that their courts were poorly designed and maintained which alienated many in the sport. Do them propoerly and they will be very successsful. C'mon Y stop making the same mistakes over and over... put in proper courts!
