We appreciate your understanding of these policies. 

The YMCA cannot guarantee any requests that are made for practice days, times, coaches, etc. 

Your child should be in an age group based on the age they will be on the day practices begin which is JUNE 17, it is not based on the child’s age at the time of registration.

Example: If the child is 7 at the time of registration, but turns 8 before the first day of practices, the child would need to play in the 8-9 age group.
