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. Fields are maintained and kept in safe and presentable conditions. Additionally, your child will be provided with a team jersey and hat. Every child will receive an end-of-the-year trophy. Six games are scheduled, with a guarantee of five games.

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

Your child should be in an age group based on their age on the first day of practices. Example: If the child is 9 at the time of registration, but turns 10 before the first day of practices, the child would need to play in the 10-11 age groups. If you feel your child can play in an older age group, you must speak with the director before the child will be moved up.

The primary forms of communication are through email & PLAYERSPACE. The YMCA will communicate practice schedules, game schedules, and other important information throughout the season via PLAYERSPACE. Please add the @ymcagreenville.org and @playerspace.com domains to your safe sender list so emails do not go to your junk folder. 

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. Please note, that if you want to switch teams after jerseys have been ordered if you have the wrong size, there will be a $12-$20 additional fee added to your account. This covers the new jersey and the shipping fee.

PLAYERSPACE is a tool that the Y uses to keep parents and coaches informed. This program will enhance your experience and keep you informed throughout the season. You can message your coach & fellow parents, sync your game schedule to your phone, post pictures, etc.

You will receive a Playerspace email prompting you to login or sign up to see your practice information. 

Practices: The Sports Director will call practices under severe weather (lighting, thunder storms, tornado watch), ongoing hard rain, snow/ice, unfavorable field conditions, and/or any possible weather threats. Otherwise, any other weather conditions such as small rain showers will be at the discretion of the coach. This is for all ages. Please get a contact list of the Head Coach, Assistant Coach, and Team parent to see if practice is called off. If the YMCA does call practices, the decision will be made by 5:00pm. Always check with your coach to see if it’s cancelled.

Games: The Sports Director will call games at the earliest time possible. The Sports Director will call or email all coaches as soon as a decision is made. This decision will be made by 5:00pm for weekdays and 8:00am on Saturdays. After this time, all decisions will be made on the field and information will be given to the Member Services desk at the YMCA. Always check with your coach to see if it’s cancelled. 

Awards 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 awards, get with your coach and/or team parent to help set one up.
