IF I could have given zero stars I would have . Me and my husband paid for both our kids to play basketball 400 dollars. ACADAMEY . Ill start this off by saying the practices on Tuesday and wenesday are pretty pointless they barely teach the kids anything. The drills are meaning less and your promised professional skills ect in brouchure. The games on Saturdays the coach's let favorites who happen to be grandsons ect sub in to stack teams and have more game play whenever they want . The game that determined what team had the "bi" was SERVERALLY stacked im inserting a video again coach Joey subbing his grandson in whos 11 in and then let him also play in the 13 year old league. THERE WERE 4 SKILLED PLAYERS VERSES A TEAM THAT DIDNT EVEN HAVE ALL THE PLAYERS SHOW UP. Before the game started I approached the coaches and asked Joey if he was gonna split the teams up and was told "this there normal team" . That team wound up getting the bi for championships . I left a message when bryn Trent explaining my concerns because the rules specifically state no team stacking . He never called me back or cared trash . My husband reached out to his boss and we we're given the run around and told to allow joey a chance to "do the write thing". Nothing was done and numerous games I watched have been stacked I have many videos and pictures even to the point coach Joey was allowing the boys mom aka his daughter to do the score stats and points while her son played IN the game. Theres a double standered here with the coaches and favoritism is definitely a problem. Complete waste of money. I spoke with a few other parents they also agreed and mentioned there kids being benched alot they too paid 200 for nothing. The supervisors do not a thing the sports director lied and said hed be attending the game today CHAMPIONSHIPS BTW and hes no where to be found this place is TRASH and lost my busniess. Do BETTER COACH JOEY. Also guess who won the championship? Couldn't be the stacked team his grandons on huh ?

I have been coming here about 1 year. The staff and even other customers are super friendly. The pool is nice, however it is seasonal. My kids have done gymnastics & ninja warrior and they both enjoyed them. Sadly, several times I've tried to drop off kids for childcare, they're full with no eta on when there will be an opening. (You can't do online reservations for the childcare.) The gym is small but equipment is fairly comprehensive. Overall, its a nice community hub.

Youth Development, School’s Out Camp, & Before/After school Program I recently enrolled my children in the School’s Out Day Camp at the YMCA during spring break to explore the advertised STEM, arts, and character development activities. However, the experience was disappointing. On the first day, there were no ID checks when my children were dropped off or picked up, raising serious safety concerns. I was also not informed about inappropriate activities such as my children hitting, throwing sand, and playing Roblox. Roblox was not only banned from our house due to its lack of learning activities, but also the presence of identified sexual predators. Lastly, I did not provide consent for my children to play Roblox at the YMCA. The lack of supervision and the focus on video games instead of the advertised activities were deeply unsettling. This experience has led me to decide against enrolling my children in the YMCA’s summer camp. I hope the YMCA takes this feedback seriously and implements changes to ensure the safety and well-being of children. In the beginning of the school year, my children participated in the Y before and aftercare. I had to disenroll them after just five weeks of their part-time care due to multiple incidents of my children not listening. While I don’t blame the Y entirely for two five-year-olds not listening, this experience certainly validates the reasoning behind their previous incidents. The lack of structure for this age group provides children with the opportunity to misbehave. During this stage, it’s crucial for children to have structured activities to keep their small minds engaged in learning and tasks. My goal for this feedback is for the YMCA to acknowledge these deficiencies and proactively work on structure. They should provide the children with activities that they are advertising on their website, which will help with positive behavior molding and increase trusting relationships between the children and staff, as well as between the establishment and parents. Ultimately, parents choose this organization to help keep their children actively engaged while they work. Advertising specific activities and then accepting payments from parents while reflecting the care as a daycare setting where the kids are simply being watched and do as they please is unacceptable on the company’s behalf.

good place for a workout. warm in the winter and cool in the summer. busy in the morning but empty in the afternoon. friendly staff. seldom have to wait for equipment. outdoor pool. mostly pleasant music. you can play pickleball there.

★★★Uncanny Recovery

It definitely has good programs, but the access to parking is horrendous. Games are ALWAYS starting and ending late, and there is NOWHERE to sit...EVER. It really needs to be rethought on how a lot of the things are done there. The coaches are hit/miss. Been doing my kids' sports for years.
