COACH CONTACT

Your coach will contact you 2 or 3 days following the set coaches meeting. Please note your coach's information for your records.If you have not heard from your coach 2 weeks before game day, please contact the YMCA at 417-326-3100 or kkeim@orymca.org.

 

AT GAME TIME

Please arrive with plenty of time for parking and locating the correct field/court. Each team will have time to warm up before each game. When game time arrives, the referee or umpire will call both teams together for a character lesson, pledge, and prayer. After the game, the teams will shake hands and then go to their coach for a talk and snack.

 

PARENT EXPECTATIONS

Our goal is to encourage healthy spirit, mind and body for all...especially for your child. Behavior that is unsportsmanlike, unruly or interferes with the progress of the game never helps any child. Please help us be strong role models for all children. This sport is designed for them to develop and grow.

 

WEATHER & MAKE-UP GAMES

Here in Missouri the weather can change fast! In the case of inclement weather, you will receive a call from your coach or the YMCA to let you know if games are cancelled.

 

Weather cancellations, on the YMCA's part, will include one guaranteed make-up game. Information about the make-up day will be delivered to team coaches.

 

HEALTHY SNACK OPTIONS

The Y does not require teams to provide snacks, but if your team does provide snacks, we encourage you to bring healthy choices! If your child has any allergies, please let your coaches know. Below are some ideas for healthy snacks:
