We had a positive experience with youth sports basketball this session. The coaches were supportive and positive and we enjoyed the vibe of the teams each of my kids were on.

Coach Kelsey and Coach Flavia for the Grades 2-3 Volleyball were the best! Thank you for making this sport available!

I like how the communication from both the YMCA and coaches has been timely and informative. Also, the refs and coaches have been wonderful. They ensure equal playing time for all kids and keep the learning of the sport fun and safe. Signing my child up for this sport experience has been everything that as a parent, I had hoped it would be. Thank you South Sound YMCA-Youth Sports!

We had a great coach! It was my son’s first year playing basketball and he learned so much. Even with all the errors my son made, coach continued to work with him and build his confidence. We can’t wait to return in Fall.

I like the frequency of practices in volleyball. It made my daughters excited, a very good sport activity that they looked forward to during the week. Plus the games on Saturdays even made them more excited.

This was our first experience with the Youth Sports programs and my two girls enjoyed the k-1 grade volleyball so much we signed up for the next session. The coach was super engaging and even got parents involved. We can not wait to continue participating in the sports programs.

The emphasis on team play for all skill levels has been really great for my kid who is just dipping his toes into organized sports. The short sessions make sport sampling easy and accessible.

It’s a great spot for kids to learn and grow through athletics. Thank you for providing this opportunity to the kids. I would suggest for basketball that improvements are made in the 2nd/3rd grade league on some of the basic fundamentals for rules. It’s not with the intent to punish anyone but to help them learn the rules and skills. Officials should stop play a little more often for traveling and double dribbling to explain to the kids they can’t do that in basketball. If that happens early in the year, the kids will develop a stronger foundation for the game. The intent with calling that isn’t to take the ball away from them, but to teach them. If it’s not enforced in a game, it develops bad habits for future growth. There has also been a significant amount of physical contact that are fouls. While at this age there could be a constant foul called, officials should ensure they are calling some to prevent bad habits from forming on defense and for player safety. Thanks for another great season.

We have been very happy with the volleyball programs our girls have been enrolled in. My only complaint is that space in the gyms for the 4th/5th grade level teams is too tight. Spectators end up on the court. As a member of the Y with daughters that are interested in open gym, it would be helpful to locate these games at a local school, allowing more open gym availability and a better space for the game where spectators aren’t in the way.
