The YMCA Sports Academy Outdoor Sports Club category is focused on introducing and offering non-traditional recreational sports venues. Our goal is to introduce recreational options like fishing, kayaking, camping, and cycling to participants that want to experience something new and unique…while sharing some of these experiences with parents, grandparents and guardians.

Fishing Club
It’s time to release your inner angler! The YMCA Anglers Fishing Club teaches the fundamentals/basics of fishing including rigging of rods and knot tying, angling skills, safety and of course fishing. This hands-on approach will assure a productive experience for all participants! The YMCA Anglers Fishing Club will fish various locations in the Evansville area (see schedule for weekly location). Participants are encouraged to bring their own equipment, but there will be equipment and tools available if needed. This program is great for beginners to advanced fisherman. All participants receive a t-shirt.
