Love the place incredible for kids

great people with morals

Love the people involved in running the programs. The best people!

I like that my child is able to meet other children his age and learn a new sport. I didn't like how many children didn't consistently show and that it took us 3 weeks to get a coach.

Wonderful programs, professional and helpful staff, very clean facility. Very warm and welcoming. Our grand daughter loves coming to the Y, as do I.

The fun of it all!

Affordable, fun, builds friendships!

We are all understaffed, but it would’ve Ben nice to have scoring like we did in the fall for volleyball ages 8 to 11

Good communication - solid principles

YMCA sports are a great fit for my six-year-old. The coaches are great and the weekly emails are helpful. The management staff is helpful and very positive and engaged. I have a lot of great things to say about YMCA sports for this age range.

One idea I have is that in another sport my child plays, we get a weekly text updating on the uniform color for that week. Even with coach emails, we sometimes have kids show up in the wrong color shirt. Software that helped with a text notification system like that the night before the game would be awesome. another idea is having reversible jerseys like with some other Ymca sports, but I’m sure there’s a reason that is not done for soccer.

Perfect thanks

I love seeing familiar faces every year. Ryan is a great official for all sports.

The cross country training program and our (ShadyGrove) proactive coach was awesome. This was quite motivating for my son... he enjoyed the entire experience of the final meet :)

Is there a training for triathlon for kids planned sometime this year?

Thanks!
