So let me start by saying that first impressions are literally everything.
I don't belong to this Y but my son wanted to play basketball and this was the only YMCA that offered it at the time. Initially I signed my son up for this program with a young girl at the front desk who was rude and very unprofessional she "yoed" me several times & was confused as to how to register my son.
She handed me a receipt that said practices are mon wed fri and that the director Mitch would call me with the start times. Now keep in mind I signed up for this on Thursday, no response that evening, no response Friday, nothing on sat nor Sun. I called each of these days as well and didn't get an answer until evening. Sunday evening I was told that practices would be at 5:15 pm on mon.
I arrived at 500 pm on Monday, now remember how I told you first impressions were everything?? The young girls at the front desk didn't bother to greet me as I walked in, they were on cell phones and stuffing their mouthes with food. Since no one spoke I spoke to them and asked where basketball practice would be at. Mind you I had my 6 year old son with me dressed in his practice attire, one girl pointed to the gym. So I kindly walked around and asked an older white lady if she knew where I should go and I was told the gym. So I headed there opened the door and was shocked to see a gym full of grown men playing basketball. Of course at this point I was beyond pissed like y'all could clearly see that I was here to bring my 6 year here to play ball???
I stormed back to the front desk and asked if anyone knew what time youth basketball would start and I was told 545pm now. Imagine my frustration at this point. I called and got ahold of someone named Barbara she claimed to be a supervisor I expressed my frustration and concern with her and although she was very apologetic it's didn't take away frustration with this place and her rude staff. She then happily told me that practice was not until tomorrow (Tuesday) at 630pm!!!!!!!
All I can say is that it starts with management if the managers are confused and chaotic then the staff will follow also.
If it wasn't for my son wanting this I would not go here ever again.
Take my advice and stay far far away from this place unless you want to be disrespected and ignored!!!
