Volunteer Organizations: Lafayette Moraga Youth Association
 |
The largest athletic organization in Lafayette and Moraga, founded in 1954, LMYA’s mission is to build self-esteem, sportsmanship, well-rounded players, and community by providing year-round sports opportunities to school-age youth in Lafayette and Moraga by partnering with parents, residents, local sport teams, and organizations. Charlie Toll, then the Superintendent of the Moraga School District, was instrumental in bringing athletic programs to Moraga. He had first developed a youth program in Lafayette where he lived. Moraga students began asking him if they could also have a team. Thus began the newly formed Lafayette Moraga Youth Association committed to having fun and engaging in positive, healthy competition, exposing children to a variety of sports developing muscles and skills. With a comprehensive approach to sports, health, and wellness rather than being a path to high school sports, LMYA offers equal game time and positive opportunities. Developing skills and teaching the fundamentals of strategy, fostering camaraderie and reliability through team play, teaching life lessons in a safe, constructive environment, educating coaches, trainers and parents to support their athletes as they grow, providing older youth work opportunities in which they serve as role models in leadership roles, and building our community through local games, inclusive events and team camaraderie remain LMYA’s goals. |
