FAQs

How are the coaches picked?

GREAT QUESTION!! All of our coaches are volunteers. Some are parents helping coach their kids, while others are folks from the community who share the same Y values. ALL of our coaches go through a background check because your child’s safety is our #1 priority.  If you are interested in coaching please

How often is practice?

Typically our teams practice  twice a week. We know your life is busy so  practices will last around 45 minutes to an 1 hour. We want to honor your time so we provide resources to the coaches to help make your season the best it can be.

Can I stay and watch practice?

Absolutely! We encourage it! As a matter of fact our teams are always looking for Assistant Coaches if you’re interested in helping please let our staff know 🙂

What equipment will my child need?

At the beginning of each season you will receive information on what is “required equipment” as well as “recommended equipment” This information will be covered in the parent meeting prior to the season.  You can find the date and time of ourparent meeting on the information sheet which can be found on our website.  If you have any questions make sure to ask your Coach.

Helpful Tips

Here are some helpful tips to ensure you have a great season!

  1. Save the Coaches contact information and give them yours.
  2. Sign up for Weather and Emergency Text Alerts – We want to get you the right information at the right time. This is a great resource to help in that communication.
  3. Make sure your athlete has the equipment they need.
  4. Be on time – We want to honor your time and effort by providing the best quality sports experience we can, we need your help though. By showing up on time, ready to play, for practices and games it makes a world of difference. Picking up your athlete on time is a huge help to our coaches too. We understand that can’t happen every time. When those situations occur the best thing to do is notify the Coach via phone call or text.
  5. Make it FUN!! At the Y we encourage fair play, positive competition and family involvement. Every child gets to play so make sure to cheer loud!! (For both teams!)
