Member Testimonials

Loved the same day practice/game. Kept weekends open and was great intro for my 5 year old.

The Y sports are great.

Some feedback:

-Tell the coaches to send a snack signup sheet in advance of the first game. Then everyone is at home and can look at calendars and it’s all settled before the first one.

-I also recommend there is a social element— have them introduce themselves, their school, etc., so the kids get to know each other. It would be also be great if there was an extracurricular, optional meetup at the end, like getting ice cream (everyone pays for themself)

-One request: Please try matching some similar-school kids together. We attend a school without a lot of kids at the Y, but they exist. We’ve just never been on the same team and it makes it hard to get to know kids at our school. I also noticed a team with just one girl and all boys. It just doesn’t seem very balanced.

Finally, shoutout to Coach John Ward. We had him once in the past, but I see him every season, coaching multiple teams and kids. He deserves recognition and compensation!

Also, shoutout to Caleb, who we also see all over the Y, contributing.

We had a great experience with the YMCA Midlothian. The communication has been excellent—any time there were schedule changes or updates, they made sure families were informed right away, which made things less stressful.

Most importantly, my kids absolutely love playing sports through the program. The environment is positive, encouraging, and focused on helping kids learn while having fun. It has been a really happy experience and we would definitely recommend the YMCA to other families.

Affordable and low stress- a great way to learn a sport!

Good team sport program which you had another season for basketball

Low key and emphasis on sportsmanship

My daughter loved playing with her team. The volunteer coaches were great and the staff was great

Love the variety of workout classes. Great teachers.

Swim

Great coach and community

My son participated in Cross Country for the first time this fall and it was our first experience with YMCA sports. Mallori and Kyle were absolutely wonderful! Mallori was always available to answer questions, so friendly and welcoming! Kyle is a gem and so inspiring to my 8yr old. Thank you for a great first experience and we look forward to the spring season!

The sports program seems to be one of the most organized programs at the Y. The communication is always on point and responsive. The only thing I’d change is adding some earlier activities like Ninja or a Running group at 4:45/5 for the elementary kids. They get out of school then.

Amazing staff, great summer camp activities. Both my children loved being in ninja camp and swimming groups lesson.
Very clean facility.

I like the evening hours and I liked them getting an hour of ninja warrior time. The coaches were fun and caring.

YMCA programs and activities feel approachable. It’s a great opportunity for my family to try new things.

The soccer program is a friendly league that is good for starting players to learn and have fun with other new or veteran soccer players. It has taught my daughter much and she made some new friends along the way.

Family friendly, healthy lifestyle, great youth coaches.

We had a great soccer season for our kindergartener. His coach was kind, engaging, and taught functional skills.

The coaches are very nice and supportive. I love how volleyball is played to give all players a chance to play all different positions. Everyone is welcoming.

Friendly & fun!

Nice Y helpers/refs and coaches! Kids loved it!

Great coaches and refs at the games, very organized, able to use jerseys for multiple years

My daughter had so much fun with indoor soccer! Her coachs, coach Nate and coach Mary were great. Thank you guys so much!

We had a great experience! I liked that the focus was placed more on teamwork rather than just winning.

The diverse range of kids sports offerings is a major reason for our family choosing the YMCA for seasonal activities.

two thumbs up - Becky and the team of coaches were engaging, motivational and encouraging - great role models for 1st time runners. Would highly recommend this group of coaches and volunteers to anyone thinking about running as a means of getting your kids active.

It’s affordable and for a wide range of ages

Love the positive vibes, diversity, focus on fun and good sportsmanship

I love the caring people. I also like the team building that is implemented into their programs.

Really enjoy a psycho classes with Kathy on Tuesday and Thursday morning and with Kristen on Saturday morning the groups and the instructors are all a lot of fun. Nice to work out with a bunch of good people.
