Member Testimonials

It was fun and light-hearted, and the Y's mission being said out loud before every game was wonderful.

Great coaches and volunteers throughout the process. We have done swim and soccer thus far and plan to continue YMCA sports and programs!

We loved youth soccer at the YMCA this season! The coaches were great, the atmosphere was positive, and my child had a wonderful experience. The only downside was the games almost never lasted the full allotted time. Since it's a paid program, it would be nice for the kids to receive their full play time. Hoping to see this improved next season. Otherwise, we really enjoyed it!

Great coach, well organized, clear directions and schedules, great to get together with other children and be active.

The coaches were great! I wish you offered this one more often throughout the year.

YMCA sports are not overly competitive but rather inspire and nurture personal growth along with team building. Coaches are volunteers, parents, community leaders who genuinely care to see youth thrive in all aspects. Children are encouraged to do their best while cheering on their peers, building strength and confidence in our youth. We love the Goochland YMCA!

Great coach, and great exercise for the children.

Great coaches and very organized.

They're economical, for kids of a wide range of abilities and lead by parents and volunteers who truly care about encouraging positive values and emphasize team building and supporting one another. Every child gets a fair shot at the Y!

This was my son very first time playing soccer. He enjoyed coming every Sunday and playing with his teammates. The coach and staff were just amazing. I would recommend The Y for indoor soccer. Looking forward to next season.

My son was really nervous about swim lessons, but the instructors made him so excited to participate. They were kind, knowledgable, and efficient. He will definitely be doing programs through the YMCA again!

Age appropriate classes for Seniors

Coaches are amazing! Great role models. The children are not just taught individual achievements but how to be a good team player encouraging every participant.

Good sportsmanship. Keep kids involved and active.

The coaches with the Cross Country team are fantastic.

My children and I love the cross country program that the YMCA offers.
The coach is great and the volunteer coaches give just as much time to make the runners feel great and are part of the team.
We use to have end of the season parties and now we were told that was cut from the budget. What does my payment cover? You would think that part of the registration fee for one runner could cover a party.
The YMCA wants us to keep being a part of these programs, but eventually we will stop since we get nothing in return from the YMCA, not even a piece of pizza.

You have some options that my daughter likes and it's very convenient to the house.

They are very enjoyable and the staff is always so nice. Love all the options for programs, they have something for everyone.

Everything was well organize . My kids really enjoyed their season

Everyone is very friendly and kind to all. The activities teach a new sport, as well as being a team player; and, to be a good winner or loser.

My son's coaches with the Cross Country team were fantastic. They were kind, enthusiastic, energetic and motivating. They have a real gift.
