Northwest Valley Family YMCA

"I enjoy the facility and the staff. It’s clean and friendly. The people who go there are very nice as well."

"Friendly staff, excellent youth sport coaches and open courts for volleyball and basketball. The pool with the walk-in feature is perfect for younger children. Affordable and has kids care too for help with children during common work out times of day. Classes are fun and a lot more online to do at home too with the app."

"As another parent who experienced the same issues with the Northwest Valley YMCA Jr Suns program, I feel compelled to echo the concerns previously mentioned. Our team, too, suffered from the program’s unfair practices and complete disregard for player welfare. Our assistant coach reported these issues, highlighting the unfair treatment and biased game setups we endured, but there was no action taken. This neglect peaked during the playoffs, where an unjust bracketing led to a demoralizing loss and, worse, physical injuries. After the game, we had three players with injuries, a direct result of the program’s negligence and the excessively competitive environment they fostered. It’s alarming to see a youth sports program show such indifference to the well-being and safety of its players. This experience has been eye-opening, and I strongly urge other parents to steer clear of this program. It’s crucial to find a setting that prioritizes the health, safety, and positive development of young athletes."

"Parents, my advice is straightforward: stay far away from the Northwest Valley YMCA Jr Suns program. Our experience was nothing short of a nightmare. The program is plagued by unfair treatment, complete disregard for player welfare, and a dismissive attitude towards concerns raised by parents and teams. During our season, we faced a series of biased decisions that culminated in a demoralizing playoff loss (60-11), thanks to an extremely unfair bracket placement. Our repeated attempts to address these issues were met with indifference. Even more distressing was the program director, Mr. Mark Gretter’s suggestion that our complaints were causing personal animosity among the staff. This program not only failed to provide a positive experience but actively diminished our young players’ love for the sport. If you’re considering this program for your child, my advice is to run in the opposite direction and find a program that values fairness, respect, and the developmental needs of young athletes."
