You can expect to receive your child’s team placement for the season approximately two weeks prior to games beginning. This includes coach information, team roster and practice time if applicable.
Tables with the specific dates for each season are included in the program guide and are available on this page.
You can expect to receive the game schedule for the season approximately one week prior to games beginning. Team and game information is communicated via email by a sports director or through YGametime, our team management platform.
You are able to request a coach, player(s) and practice days that work best for you at the time of registration. Sports directors take all requests into consideration when creating team rosters but cannot guarantee your requests can be accommodated.
Players are teamed according to the requests made at the time of their registration, expected rosters submitted by volunteer coaches, and any school or geographical information included in their registration questionnaire.
Sports directors are not able to guarantee that all requests can be accommodated.
Sports directors work directly with volunteer coaches to schedule practices based on what is available during a given season.
Available practice options are determined by the space available within our YMCAs and area school sites.
Sports directors do their best to accommodate practice requests made within sports registrations, but cannot guarantee requested practice days or locations are available.
Generally, players are encouraged to wear athletic shoes and the required uniform for their particular sport/program. For Soccer and Flag Football, cleats are encouraged.
Specific equipment needs vary by sport and season. Please refer to the program description, welcome emails and other information sent by our Sport Directors ahead of a program.
In the event weather forces a program cancellation, the weather hotline will be updated at least two hours prior to the start of a program. On game days, updates will be posted two hours prior to the start of the first game of the day.
