Greetings by name, and tennis courts are usually clear of debris.
Two recommendations.
1. Install an entrance exit door--court #2
2. Upgrade the court lighting. National Grid has an ongoing LED Lighting program.
More intimate than the Fayetteville YMCA, love the Yoga studio!
The Manlius Y is small and homey and never over populated. The classes are all excellent.
We love the Manlius After School Care! Each teacher is so attentive and you can tell they really care for the kids! There is always a new activity or game for the kids to do, so they are never bored! My daughter never wants to leave at the end of the day, which is truly the sign of a great program!
The program was an amazing opportunity for my son. The teachers weee sweet, caring and very easy to talk with about his progress. I am so appreciative my son was given this opportunity to help him grow and learn.
The incredible staff! They are all
So pleasant and organized. I was originally worried about busing my child. But after dropping him off and picking him up for almost 2 months, I saw how well, and how organized they ran the pick up and drop off for the buses. I was confident that I had nothing to worry about. They do quite a variety of activities, I enjoy that they have the turf to play on.
Caring teachers and staff. Everyone does so much to care for my child. Environment seems welcoming.
We absolutely have loved our experience with the Manlius YMCA UPK program right from the start! The communication was consistent and clear, and once our son actually started we couldn't have been happier. Mrs. Calenzo is a fantastic teacher, who our son adores. The program was structured but allowed plenty of opportunities for fun. We are so glad to have been part of the first year--while there's nothing that we think needs to be changed, I can only imagine the program will grow to be even bigger and better! We have loved our time with the Manlius YMCA family.
My child thrived in the UPK program, thanks to the wonderful, dedicated staff. Each child was made to feel special, their needs were met, and their voices were heard. Thank you for a wonderful year!
This project is very good, and my children are well educated in it. The learning content of the class is very interesting. Teachers are very concerned about their children and are very caring. Thank you very much for this project.
Wonderful teachers and staff!
Wonderful teachers and staff members. My daughter learnt a lot. The only thing i would add is an outdoor playground and everyday outdoor time.
The Manlius YMCA UPK program did a fabulous job preparing our child for Kindergarten. Thank you to the teachers and staff for all the kindness and support this past year!
We are just so LUCKY to have Caitlin and the staff of the Manlius YMCA watch our kids after school. Our kindergartener adjusted over the year to her new routine and a huge part of that was due to the staff at the Manlius Y. Bonus: our daughter gets to do tennis after school every Friday!
The experience has been wonderful! My daughter enjoys the activities, has made good friends in the program, and finds the YMCA team members to be kind and supportive. I'm so glad we chose the YMCA for before/after school.
Counselors are caring and interact well with the children
We are beyond grateful with how well they treat our son. He has ADHD and struggles at times bit they are so good and patient with him. They always communicate with him about who his safe person is each day so he knows who to go to for help. The staff are very accommodating and they communicate well with us. Our son loves going to the Manlius Y and is very comfortable there.
A safe environment for my daughter to get on the bus before school. Convenient location, too.
Wonderful staff!
The people who go there

We finally got some services for our disabled son. David and Ashley have both helped in this process. Thank you both
Staff very good and enjoying the program’s.
Intimate facility, low key environment, friendly, convenient location
There are a number of things I appreciate about the Manlius YMCA. The equipment is first rate, the employees are especially courteous and friendly, the facility is never so crowded that I have to wait to use the tread mill, and the temperatureis is kept comfortably cool.
The atmosphere is very friendly and staff is quite helpful. I feel very comfortable there while getting a good workout. The hours of operation make it very easy to alter my workout schedule to accommodate other family events.
Thank you,
Don Bregande
Brian & Cory are just great - friendly every time I stop in. The facility is clean & the Manlius YMCA offers so much to do & learn.

The Werq instructors, Jill, Margarita and Trish are so fun, so high energy and welcoming to everyone who takes the classes. They are incredible!
