Great camaraderie amongst the team players, coaches and families.
We are so glad to have Ms. Danielle, along with her team, as they are doing a great job.
Nice people. Fun activities. Organized.
It has allowed me to continue a healthy lifestyle. My hope is that goes on for many years.
Just enjoy the place and the staff and how convenient it is for everything. I also enjoy my grandkids activities there and also for myself as well.
Ir is the best YMCA in Tampa
Clean, well maintained gym
Miss Claire and the entire after school Y staff is amazing. We’re on our second year here and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
Wonderful organization with a top tier staff
My child loved it. I like the smaller time commitment. I’d recommend raising the basketball goals during volleyball games. They did interfere with several plays for our team this. I also realized that our team consistently only had 7 players show up to games/practices. We had 10 or 11 on our roster and never saw 3 of the after the first week. This was somewhat unfair when playing teams that consistently have all 10 show up. Our team didn’t get that needed rest or ability to rotate out. If people quit the first week or 2, redistribute the teams if there is a big discrepancy.
Coach Armani is absolutely wonderful
We’ve had such a positive experience with the South Tampa YMCA basketball program. Over the past year, our child’s confidence, teamwork, and skills have grown tremendously. The coaches create an environment that is supportive, energetic, and focused on developing each player — not just as an athlete, but as a person.
It’s clear that the program is thoughtfully led, with a strong commitment to helping kids thrive both on and off the court. The structure, communication, and positive team culture have all made a lasting impact on our family.
We’re very grateful for the dedication and passion the coaches and director bring to this program. It’s truly one of the best examples of what the Y stands for — community, growth, and encouragement.
Great season! Coach Eddie is such a valuable adult in the life of my son! The last game of the season was a drastic improvement to last season. Good work on stepping up the quality of the experience.
Great coaches and teambuilding!
The kids are improving so much since the coaches from Camp Cristina have been working with them. I'm so glad I signed them up.
We have had an amazing experience. If I could change anything it would be that there was some more basic training. Explanation of the rules : what constitutes double dribbling, what is traveling, what makes a foul a foul, etc.
Great coach!!! Always very energized and keeps the kids engaged and feeling challenged.
The volunteer coaches are great! Once a week practice is plenty and Saturday games move very smoothly. The atmosphere is great for families.
The coaches have been so great with the kids. Armani is so responsive and does a great job with communication. We appreciate that our son has been learning so much about teamwork and playing with a good attitude even more than the basketball skills he's learning.
Awesome league. Please make sure kids who are swearing are called out a little more. We need to encourage respectful competition
We had a really good experience and the coaching was superb.
Everyone there has been very helpful polite and respectful. My swim instructor Leanna is the best. I am 65yrs and just learned how to swim. She not only help me overcome my fear of water in my face but I am treading water , which for me was the hardest part of learning how to swim. I would definitely recommend the YMCA Spurlino location for all thing YMCA. You guys are the best!!
I like the classes and instructors. My 12 year old enjoys coming here to work out with his friends, and I feel safe allowing him to do that.
All the amenities available for the whole family
They have everything you need for kids , adults and seniors
Yall guys are awesome,,
The staff are caring and kind. My child enjoys going and speaks highly of the enrichment activities and additional opportunities to connect with other students. They do a great job of making the afterschool experience fun!
My kid is happy everyday at pickup.
We are always greeted upon arrival
We really enjoyed volleyball season, and the group of kids and coaches was great. It was a low key setting for kids to learn and I saw some kids (including my own) grow tremendously grown in both volleyball skills and confidence.
My only suggestion would be to have practice earlier in the week vs having practices on Friday evenings and games Saturday mornings. Even my son (the volleyball player) commented that he wished his volleyball time was spread out more during the week, vs consolidated within a 12 hour period.
