The sports director at this location should not be working with children. We are new to this town and have used the Y for many things. I’ve never had a poor experience until now. We signed our 5 year old up for T-ball. When we got there , there was the sports director and 2 coaches. The coaches were wonderful and interacted with the children in a way you would expect an adult to interact with 3,4, and 5 year olds. They were kind and encouraging. The sports director though, was screaming at the kids. His tone was condescending, he wasn’t giving clear directions and then yelling at the kids when they didn’t follow directions. These were toddlers. Anyone who is working with toddlers needs to have patience, understanding , and be kind. This was not the first time I had a poor encounter with the director of sports either. The first time he was rude and condescending to me during summer soccer, when my daughter’s coach quit. I had expressed concern about the lack of communication through that process. Instead of addressing that concern he was just rude. It’s one thing to be rude to an adult, but we a youth sports director you should know how to interact with children. Many of the parents at T-ball were commenting about the way he was speaking to the kids.

Great local gym with everything I need. Staff was super helpful and I was able to get a really good discounted college student membership while home over winter break. Clean, friendly, and definitely worth it!!
