BARBARA BAUER BRIGGS FAMILY YMCA
RECREATION
AT
BARBARA BAUER BRIGGS!
At the Y, sports and recreational activities are something special. Friendly competition (even with yourself), lots of variety and a supportive environment means team sports and recreation is fun again, and it makes for a healthier lifestyle and a good story or two.
Whether you miss “suiting up” or are new to team sports, the Y’s gymnasiums and racquetball courts provide a perfect opportunity to be active, social and reconnect or start fresh with a sport you love.
The Y brings families together. Come enjoy a game of basketball, jump in the racquetball courts or visit the Wellness Center together.

Did you know that we have the ONLY racquetball courts in Victoria? We have 2 courts available for you at the Barbara Bauer Briggs Family YMCA! Don’t worry, we have equipment you can borrow.
Our racquetball courts have been popular for many years. We still have a great group of dedicated players we are happy to see several times a week.
