**The Superior Douglas County Family YMCA will not be able to offer refunds for any program cancellation this summer. By enrolling your child in our summer programming you are agreeing to abide by the Superior YMCA Code of Conduct and you agree to follow all policies and protocols that are in place for YMCA youth programming.

The Y is committed to building great kids through sports! Your children will grow as athletes and community members through our emphasis on five key development areas.

OVER 8,000 VOLUNTEER HOURS WERE LOGGED IN 2019! And a huge THANK YOU goes out to all the volunteer coaches! You're a large part of the amazing stories being made every day here at the Y!

Youth sports at the Y are a success in large part because of all the volunteer coaches! Each team in each league is coached, often by a parent, on a volunteer basis. Each Youth Sports program has opportunities for volunteers to coach, assist and referee games. If you’re a parent of a child enrolling in a youth sport and would like to be a coach, please answer accordingly in the online enrollment form for your chosen sport. If you don't have a child in the sport, contact us for more information. Jon Reimer: jreimer@superiorymca.org OR Shawn Pagnucci: shawnp@superiorymca.org.

Check out our video explaining the importance of Character Development in all youth activities.
