Hello Parents, This is a reminder that the Winter Basketball Session begins next week. I wanted to go over a couple reminders before the season gets under way. First, if you are not signed up for Y Game Time make sure that you do. I will attach the link to the website at the bottom of the email. Y Game Time is our website that will list the schedule, rosters, and send alert messages. You will sign up for your sport and age group using your phone number. Through Y Game Time once registered we can send out alerts regarding any changes, cancelations, or updates. Second, masks are required to be worn by players and parents. This is the state’s mandate for sports. If the mandate does change we will change along with it, but as of now and until told otherwise masks are required to be worn. Third, rosters will be posted in the hallway outside of the gym on the first night or you can check Y Game Time for your team as well. Finally last couple of things, as we do approach winter with the rain and the snow we do ask that if possible please wear a different pair of shoes in to the gym or make sure to have all kids rub their feet on the rugs. The gym floor can get slippery when wet so we do ask that you try to get their shoes as dry as possible when they come in. Reminder that the water fountains are turned off. We do have the water bottle fillers attached to the water fountains that are able to be used. Jerseys we will be here the morning of the first game. Thank you, Dustin Wayne Sports Coordinator Fox Valley Family YMCA 3875 Eldamain Rd, Plano, IL 60545 630-552-4100 x224

Hi All! This week is cowboy week. In honor of cowboys we have scheduled a mechanical bull to be here tomorrow 6/16/21. If you would like your camper to ride the bull, please fill out a waiver at pick-up tonight or drop-off in the morning. No one can ride without a waiver. Also tomorrow is dress up day so wear your favorite cowboy gear. Amy Peterson

We are excited to introduce YGametime! You will find Sports, Leagues and Schedules, along with other Y information, at your fingertips. It has many great features that were previously unavailable. This will give you, the coaches and parents of these great kids, the information you need instantly!

Hello Everyone, I wanted to send out a couple reminders before we start our fall session of youth sports here at the YMCA: 1. Make sure to sign up for Y Game Time. All future messages and notices will be sent through there. It is very similar to Remind messaging, where you will click on the specific sport your child is in and then enter your phone number (if your child is in flag football and soccer sign up for both). From there you will be sent a message to confirm you are in the correct group. All messages regarding changes, cancelations, or updates will be sent through there. Y Game Time is also where you will be able to find the rosters and schedule. All rosters and schedules are posted. For the roster click on the specific team name and the roster will be below in the team notes. The link for Y game time is https://ygametime.com/branch/fvfy/ 2. With the CDC’s readdressed guidelines masks will be required inside the YMCA in all common areas, including the locker room. This will only concern you if you walk through the YMCA to go out to the fields or go into the building to use the restroom. Players are not required to wear masks, however if you or your child feels more comfortable with a mask they have the choice to wear one. Parents and fans are not required to wear face masks either, but we do ask that you attempt to remain at least 3 feet apart from others. 3. Jerseys will be available to pick up on the first game day so please arrive early that first game so that you can pick up your jersey. 4. Players are allowed to bring their own equipment, but please have it labeled so it is not mistakenly taken. The following reminders pertain only to soccer: 1. Shin guards are required at every age. Cleats are recommended, but optional. 2. Monday September 6, Labor Day, practice is now canceled for the 4-6 year old age group. We received low attendance reports so everybody enjoy the day off and the first day will be September 13. If anybody has any questions feel free to reach!
