Member Testimonials
Individual swimming lessons for my kids was great, but only when they had instructors available. We had Hannah & she was amazing before she left for college.
7-8 yr old basketball is great. Very good facilities. I like how we practiced for a couple sessions until the games came. I think the colored wristbands are a great idea with guarding. At first I thought 9 foot hoop height was too high for 7-8 yr olds but they got used to it. Hannah ram a great program & was very good at stopping kids from time to time to coach the kids.

The people!!!
Everyone is so helpful and the programs and trips are “current “! Always fun!
The philosophy of learning and having fun. Nice variety to peek all interests.
The programs are consistent. My older son has played in the Jr Cavs league for a few years and has had the same coach the entire time. I feel consistency is a good thing, especially when it comes to kids and being familiar with their teammates and coach. I now have two kids in the Jr. Cavs league.
I am not a member of the YMCA, but am very intrigued to join due to all the programs the Y puts on.
Heather (who runs the Jr Cavs league) has done a great job with responding back to questions I've had throughout the season. We see her constantly at the games. She seems very hands on which has it's positives.
I feel very lucky to have access to all the AOA classes & yoga. My dr recommend yoga to help with back pain. All the instructors are wonderful.
This is our first year participating in the Jr. Cavs basketball league. I have seen growth in both my sons, one who plays in the 5-6 league and the 7-8 league. The coaches, specifically in the 5-6 league have done so much to make it a positive and inclusive experience for my son. Additionally, Hannah the director really tries to enforce the values of the YMCA and promote sportsmanship and skill-building over winning.
My son is in JR. Cavs and the program is run very well. I appreciate the emphasis on values that the kids are learning and the simple fun of learning and playing basketball. The entire theme and system is done very well.
Staff are awesome!
Hannah was super easy to work with. The courts were clean and there was plenty of space for the kids to run! We will definitely be back next season!
Kids love to go there, coaches are very friendly,kids love to learn something new,we love to find something new and interesting.
The basketball is extremely well run! My kids love it. It is fair and fun.
Jr. Cavs was very organized. Focused on age-appropriate skill development for all kids, but still allowed the kids to be competitive. Great program!
Really enjoyed the JR Cavs league :)
Our 5-year-old son has enjoyed participating in the Jr Cavs program. The coaches and refs do a wonderful job of teaching kids the skills and rules. We plan on signing up for the next season.
There is a good team of people working there and there are lots of opportunities to get involved in the overall activities of the branch.
The purposeful intent to teach the kids how to play as a team and learn a new sport. This is our first experience with a Y program and it is by far, the best sports experience we've had. Our other experiences with sports only focused on winning, winning, winning and I love that the Y emphasizes so much more than that.
Hannah and her team, including Maria, simply do an incredible job with the programs and the kids. I have seen them both in action during basketball and volleyball practices and games for my 6 and 11 year olds. They are great with kids. They are always encouraging them and providing positive feed back. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with their energy, drive, and dedication to the kids who participate in events at the French Creek YMCA.
Cleanliness, Friendliness of workers will to explain and help.
I love the senior exercise programs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
Love the yoga classes and the walking track. My grandsons love summer camp.
Y people are great people.
