Member Testimonials
Great summer season for soccer. Team Australia was hard working and tried hard. Great season
Age appropriate, variety of activities & convenient location. Super soccer coaches for the 3-4 year olds!!
I’ll recommend YMCA to anyone looking to help their child develop- physically? Mentally, and emotionally. My daughter started TBall here at Chester, and now she is on an 8U team playing softball. And she is good! Not to be bias :) Thank you, Chester YMCA!!!
My son soccer coach was amazing. He had knowledge of the sport and was able to teach my son the right steps to playing soccer
I love the inclusivity at the Y! No child has to worry about not being good enough or feeling left out!
Everting
Coach and team player family to keep kids motivated
The YMCA at Chester does an amazing job with their youth sports programs!
It was a good Spring Soccer season. Our volunteer coach was AWESOME - Coach Michael Bourke!
All coaches and staff were approachable and kind to the kids and parents
Our children have been attending the Chester Y Soccer since my oldest was 5 years old and he is currently 11. I love the way they can compete and also get the luxury of going to a tournament like other leagues. The coaches and staff at the Chester YMCA are absolutely amazing.
Courtney Wagner - She is such an amazing coordinator for the Y. Courtney is always available to work with and accommodating to everyone. She puts her heart into this program and I don't see anywhere else we would play both our soccer seasons. Thank you for everything she does on and off the field. It means a lot. And I don't think she gets the appreciation you deserve!
Plato - We have had the joy of Plato being the ref for the 7/8. He knows every kids name, coaches name and some of us parents. He is so likeable on and off the field. The kids love him and he is so kind and funny with them. He absolutely needs a raise!
Coach Courtney is FANTASTIC!!! We are SOOO glad she offers these great programs for the 18 - 36 month age range - there is nothing else like it in the community. She does a phenomenal job with the kids (and parents) and makes it a positive, fun experience for everyone. Thank you, Coach Courtney! We will definitely be signing up again and again!
My children participated in Soccer this spring (Spring 2024). Their coaches were excellent, the games were very well organized, and communication was clear and consistent. My children learned a lot, made some new friends, and most importantly had a lot of fun. We will be signing up again!
Inclusiveness and a focus on having fun.
Courtney is fantastic! She engages the little ones (mine is 2 years old) exceptionally well!
Love that the Chester YMCA is providing a place for toddlers to engage in structured activities and parents to meet other parents.
It was my daughters first time playing Basketball and she loved it. It was a great experience, she had an awesome coach, and the YMCA staff was amazing.
Having the ability to develop competitive skills with sports programs
Indoor soccer league at Chester was good. The coaches and officials were very nice and professional. The 9-10 years old should have been group together since not everyone had coaches.
I love them. The children have fun and share with other children and there are many activities that we can do as a family.
Our coach was very kind and personable. Knowledgeable of the sport and patient.
Great experience - reasonable and flexible and many options for children!
I love the outlet that Chester YMCA Sports provides our children. It supports children bonding with other children, promotes teamwork and good sportsmanship, and helps children develop trusting and respectful relationships with adults.
Great organization and teams. I would like to see baseball or tball come back to the ymca.
Great soccer program, basketball & gymnastics. Wonderful for the kids to learn these team sports. And the Y makes a point to teach them character development as well. Way to go, Chester Family YMCA!!
The accessibility of enrolment.
Our son has participated for a few years now and it has helped his athleticism and self-esteem. We appreciate the positive and inclusive sports culture.
I love that they are recreational, and that for the most part, it is fairly chill. My kids gain skills, get exercise, and meet new people.
I like knowing there is a program that caters to to kids starting with the toddlers. My experience with the YMCA in the Chester area was great. I had a great interaction with everyone I came in contact with
Family oriented

The trainers are very nice and full of energy
