Off a successful 2025, the Christian County YMCA is looking to bolster its offerings even further.  They are looking to organize more tournaments such as a basketball tournament scheduled for this month.  The Y expects to make use of their fundraising haul from last year for activities, equipment, and scholarships.

The basketball tournament is set for January 17 and 18.  Bruce Blanshan, CCYMCA Executive Director, says he hopes this will spur more similar events throughout the year. 

There are also efforts to expand teen center and grade school events, which have declined in recent years. 

The Y would also like to improve their stock of training equipment, especially for various sports.  To that end, they recently acquired a pitching machine for baseball.

The Christian County YMCA has struggled at times with staff shortages.  As part of this, they have had to close the pool at certain times each week to alleviate these problems.
