Two years after the Hollister School District removed athletics from its schools and the YMCA swooped in to offer middle school basketball, the Y is looking to expand its student-athlete programs.
The YMCA had more than 500 members of the community join in celebrating Healthy Kids Day April 21. The annual event had more than 44 nonprofits and local businesses participating in the outdoor fair. They raffled off eight sports balls and offered the first day to sign up for summer camp. More spaces are available and those that sign up before May 15 will get a free camp T-shirt.
