The YMCA is committed to providing the highest quality program for you and your family. Staff is provided to oversee all operations of the practices and games. Referees are trained in rules and regulations of basketball. The gym is maintained and kept in safe and presentable conditions. Additionally, your child will be provided with a team jersey. Every child will receive an end of the season medal. 

Any additional jersey ordered for a participant after the initial jersey order will be a $15 fee.

We appreciate your understanding of these policies. 

We try our hardest to accommodate all requests, but 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, 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. 

Yes, but the primary form of communication is through playerspace.com. Please login or sign up for PLAYERSPACE. 

The YMCA will communicate practice schedules, game schedules, and other important information throughout the season through PLAYERSPACE. You will receive a Playerspace email no later than the week before practices start prompting you to login or sign up to see your practice information. 

Coaches are expected to review their rosters and contact their players no later than the week before practices start. Please contact your Y's sports directors if you have not heard from your coach by then.  

After the game schedule has been created, we will send it to the photographer, and he will develop a picture schedule. As soon as we get this, we will pass it along to coaches and parents through email. PortraitEFX is the photography company. Any inquiries regarding problems with picture orders or not receiving your pictures should be sent to Todd Rogers at (864) 616-7999 or trogers@portraitefx.com. 

Medals will be given to coaches before the end of the season. It is up to coaches to pass them out after the last game or at a party. If you would like your team to have a party to pass out medals, get with your coach and/or team parent to help set one up.
