Managing Your Notifications

Management of notifications from MY Y currently takes place on your phone through the phone’s system settings. Visit the Notifications setting to turn on or off notifications from the app. The ability to manage specific notifications is planned as a future enhancement to the app.

It is recommended to keep notifications turned on so you are able to receive up to date information about your registered classes as well as the facility!

Questions?

I can only add one (1) person to my court booking, am I able to bring someone else?2024-10-23T15:42:47-02:30

Yes. Court bookings are designed this way so that we eliminate the chance a court is booked by two or more YMCA members/short-term pass users that want to play different sports such as Handball, Squash or Racquetball. When a court is reserved, it is assumed you are the only person using the court or you have already made arrangements with another YMCA member/short-term pass user to join you for a game.

Please continue to reference the original PDF versions of the schedule while we work to develop a schedule for these types of activities. A full schedule of these programs will be released in November.
