Member Testimonials

Really fun introduction to try new sports. My child felt very comfortable, even though their skill level is low. She learned a TON!

The kids felt accepted and like they belonged. Coaches were friendly and welcoming.

Not a lot of organizations offer flag football. My son had a great experience playing and wants to play again next season.

Amazing program and activities

My son, Mateus, spent many happy moments with his friends playing soccer. He always slept and woke up thinking about playing with them. Hope soccer come again early. Tks for all

cross country excellent coaching and camraderie

Loved the soccer coaches!!!
As well, am pleased with the private swim coach!
Staff are helpful and cheerful!!

Cross Country has been a really positive experience for my child. The coaches are great and are really invested in the success of the kids.

I liked that the activity was focused on learning the game and not on winning. It was my son’s first time playing flag football. We wanted the experience for him for letting him doing something with kids his age, building confidence, and gaining life skills.

It is imperative and my son, Noah would love to join the program again and again.

The coaches in Soccer are amazing, dedicated and worked so well with our daughter.

They are fun

Love the early-morning workout classes with Kelly Muthiora! Kelly is one of the best things about the YMCA. Staff is responsive and flexible especially youth sports staff. Love the community outreach being done by volunteers like Cathy Halliwell.

Cons: Workout area is overcrowded at certain times of the day, it’s time for an expansion. As the population of our area has grown, YMCA size has not kept up accordingly. Open gym times for Basketball are limited by other groups needing to use the gymnasium. This basketball space is the only reason two of our family members retain their membership and very often unable to use it.

Need more space!

I enjoyed soccer and the coach

Best place for family healthy activities👏

Basketball Spring clinic is an excellent program. Also, summer basketball 3x3 provided an opportunity to practice the skills learned from the clinic and see how other teams/students play the game.

Love YMCA

We love the YMCA sports, it's always a great time, coaches are always amazing and dedicated as they are 100% volunteering their time. The communications, practices and updates are always great. We love the YMCA sports and will continue to do them.

We had wonderful coaches-Sean O'Boyle & Will Shuart are amazing! Our kids really learned a lot and were nurtured by the best!

Great team

Soccer

The trainer and the director of the aqua depth are great

This was our first year doing Y Sports. We were lucky enough to be on a fantastic team. Team Canada - Girls Soccer. The coaches always showed up. They were positive, taught the girls great skills, were professional and kind to everyone.

We also had great support from the families of all of the girls playing on the team.

Coaches, organization, everything was wonderful!

my girls loved their volleyball leagues at shady grove YMCA and would love to be a part of more such programs during this summer. Please plan to organize more of these programs, which can certainly help them improve their skills, thank you !!

The refs are always very supportive to the kids and explain when they mess up.

Super positive coaching staff!!!
