Ms. Martinez was a great volleyball coach. She is very passionate and really great at getting the girls where they need to be to play. Can't wait to sign up my daughter again for the next season.

Great front desk staff.
Every time I sign my son up to play with his teammates on the Grizzlies, my heart swells with joy. This season has been a bit of a rollercoaster since we’re now playing our games at Duncanville First Baptist Church. My deepest desire is for the YMCA to recognize the need for our kids to practice more frequently. Just one practice a week won’t equip them with the skills and confidence they need to shine on the court. Imagine if we could carve out an hour-long practice on a set day, along with a brief 30-minute session on Mondays—just think of the growth that could foster in our young athletes!
My son absolutely thrives on the excitement of basketball with his friends at the YMCA, and I am so eager to support him, especially as long as our coaches can keep the chaotic waters steady. Yet, there’s a shadow that looms over this season. Recently, a troubling incident unfolded when another player stepped on my son’s head during a fall. The behavior displayed by that player’s coach was nothing short of shocking, leading to a confrontation that forced me to intervene from the stands to calm the storm brewing on the sidelines.
This isn’t the first time tensions have flared with this particular coach, and I can’t help but feel that it reflects poorly on the example we set for our children. It breaks my heart to witness such displays of hostility, especially when they teach our kids that it’s acceptable to inflict harm on others in the name of competition. I refuse to instill in my son the belief that clamor and discord are acceptable behaviors in a sport meant to inspire camaraderie and teamwork. It’s crucial that we guide our children in understanding that aggression should never eclipse the spirit of the game.
I liked that games are supposed to be recreational as my kid is not the vest player. I did not like the inconsistency in team members acros all teams. My kids' team had 14 team members. Only 5 kids play at a time and 8-9 were benched. Coach's favorites/best players got the most time playing while my kid was always limited to no more than 5 mins playing every single game. According to the coach that was because they had games to win. Please keep my name anonymous from his coach.
Thanks for assisting and creating a great environment! Great coaches and staff!
My grandkids really enjoy participating and the coaches make it an amazing experience 🎉🎉
We were on the lions football team and were really pleased with how welcoming, supportive, and engaged the coaches and parents were. My son really had a positive experience.
We did have a lot of rained out/rescheduled practices/games, but that isn't necessarily something the Y could control. However, my other son was also doing soccer at Church360 during the same time period and they didn't have to cancel as often. Not sure how your fields could be helped to reduce the affect of rainfall...
I also did not appreciate when games were rescheduled to Sundays. We do not participate in sports on Sundays and I did not see anywhere that said that would be a possibility when we signed up. If you plan to use Sundays in the future, I suggest you put it as a possibility on the registration page so people can keep that in mind when choosing which leagues/programs to participate in.
Other than that we had a positive experience.
