Receiving TeamSnap Emails
Be sure to check your junk/spam folders for any emails from TeamSnap upon registration. You’ll need to add [email protected] to your safe sender list. If you’re still not receiving emails, please contact the Sports Director at your local YMCA.
Coaches
Our coaches make YMCA Youth Sports possible and create a lifelong impact on children by encouraging sportsmanship and emphasizing good character. When you become a volunteer, the Y will provide you with resources specific to your sport.
Parents must purchase game jerseys through the Y’s portal on the Augusta Apparel website. Generally, players are encouraged to wear non-marking athletic shoes and athletic shorts for practice.
Specific equipment needs vary by sport and season, so please refer to welcome emails and other information sent through PlayerSpace ahead of the season’s start date.
What’s the difference between early, open, and late registration?
Current Y members are eligible to register during the early registration period are teamed first, and members receive a discount. During open registration, players are teamed in the order they register according to requests noted in their registration. In the event a player has not made any requests at the time of their registration, teams will randomly be assigned. Registrations received during the late period will be processed in the order they are received, and players will be placed on teams as space allows. Please keep in mind that the participant will not receive their jersey prior to the first game day.
Can my child play on the same team as their friend?
You are able to request a coach, teammate(s), and practice days that work best for you at the time of registration. All requests are taken into consideration when creating team rosters but we cannot guarantee your requests can be accommodated.
I’ve registered my child. What’s next?
You can expect to receive your child’s team placement for the season approximately four (4) days prior to the season start date. You’ll also receive details like coach information, team roster, and practice time if applicable. You can expect to receive the game schedule for the season approximately one week prior to games beginning. Team and game information is communicated via email through PlayerSpace.
I personally didn’t register my child for sports, but someone else did. How can I begin receiving information instead?
This is an easy fix! Provide your child’s coach with your contact information and let them know that you need to be invited as a “fan” of the league on Playerspace. You’ll receive an email with a link get added, and from there you’ll see all of the necessary league information.
What is the weather policy and how do we deal with cancellations?
In the event weather forces a program cancellation, you will receive an email from Playerspace. Decisions on weather cancellations can be made with 15–30 minutes prior to your practice. On game days, updates will be posted and an email will be sent out via Playerspace as well. The decision on game cancellations can also be made with 15–30 minutes prior to scheduled game times.
We can’t play anymore. How do I get a refund?
If the YMCA cancels a program, all enrollees will receive a full refund of program fees only. Practice and/or games cancelled due to inclement weather will not result in any refund of participation fees. The YMCA will attempt to reschedule these sessions but doesn’t guarantee all sessions will be made up. If a make-up session gets rained out we will not reschedule a second make-up and no refund will be given for that class.
