ONLINE SCHEDULES & ALERTS

There are two ways to access our sports game schedules:

1. Check your sport page

 

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

In the case of inclement weather, check the Pat Jones YMCA Facebook page to find out if your game is cancelled or delayed. This page will carry the most up-to-date information straight from our Sports Director. The Facebook page will be updated at least one hour before the start of the first games. If there is not a current message, games are still running as scheduled.

SPORTS WEATHER HOTLINE:  417-891-8000

 

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:
