Pickleball

Pickleball is a fun racquet sport for players of all levels. Similar to badminton or tennis, players use solid square racquets to hit a perforated ball over a net. Invented in the 1960s, pickleball has exploded in popularity. Come join us to play one of North America’s fastest growing sports! Must be 8+ to participate.

Basketball Hoop Bookings

Exercise the spirit, mind, and body in an unintimidating environment at the YMCA. Fitness Coaching appointments to get you started on one of our YThrive programs are included and encouraged with your membership along with a Free Consultation with a Personal Trainer to discuss your goals and our Personal Training options.

Family Bubble Bookings

Book your family in for some fun and energetic time in our beautiful YMCA gymnasium! There are 4 family bookings per hour and up to 5 family members can join. Your family will be reserving a quadrant of our gymnasium and can utilize any of our sporting equipment except for nets.

Volleyball

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team’s court under organized rules. Come as an individual or book in as a team and enjoy an open game of volleyball. Must be 8+ to participate.
