September Update
We had a busy summer!
We did some parking lot pavement repair, replacement, and line painting. Some facility walls were painted and the racquetball courts got cleaned up. We also did some roof, plumbing, and HVAC system repairs.
Our programs were extremely busy leading to a busy pool and gyms.
Now September is here, and we are preparing for a busy fall.
Programs will be busy again as our swim lessons continue to exceed capacity and demand for gyms continues to increase. We will be making some adjustments as we can to maximize use. Please make sure to check the schedules.
We will be increasing the amount of time Hobbs’s gym can be reserved for Pickleball. Reservations are available now through the YMCA360 app. Member Services team can help you with getting the app on your phone.
We will also be having Pickleball open gym in Schaaf gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This will be a rotation basis as more people are coming down to play. What an opportunity to make new friends.
Noon ball is back at the Downtown Y. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Nelson Gym will be reserved for Adult Pickup Basketball from 11:00 AM–1:30 PM. This may expand into Schaaf gym as well.
We will continue to have Open Volleyball on Sundays from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM.
Reminder that on Friday, September 13, we are having a Blood Drive.
Please consider donating as there is a nationwide shortage
right now. The Blood Drive will be in Nelson Gym from 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
on September 13. Click the image below for more information.
