Gym Usage

Gyms are getting busy this time of year. Our Youth Basketball program continues to grow. Please check gym schedules to see when there are open gyms.

• Schaaf Gym will be used most evenings after 4:00 PM for YMCA programming.

• We are trying to keep Nelson gym open as much as possible for member use.

• Please check the gym schedules weekly as schedules do change.

• Our Youth Basketball League games start on January 2nd. We will have even heavier use of the gyms starting at that time.

 

Pickleball

• Open Pickleball times in Schaaf gym are as follows:

  • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays from 10:00 AM-3:30 PM.

• This is open Pickleball for anyone and everyone. Please rotate in and out if it gets busy.

• Hobbs gym will be available for reservation during certain times where you can play pickleball as well.

 

Open Volleyball

• Open volleyball will be on Sundays from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM. This is open for anyone and everyone to play, so please share the court.

 

Hot Tub

• Please remember to rinse off/shower before using the hot tub. Showering helps keep the chemicals balanced in the hot tub. Sweat, lotions, etc. affect the chemical balance and can lead to chemical imbalance. This leads to hot tub shutdowns. Please do your part so the hot tub can remain open. Thank you.

 

Happy Holidays!
