Awesome jujitsu sensei

My son loves the tumble bugs class and getting to play with other kids and coach Amber!

The activity was Miss advertised was not structured and did not send clear message to the children regarding the different types of activities and exercise

We really enjoyed Amber as our instructor

Our family have been participants of multiple youth programs over the last couple of years. The variety is great but the follow through from instructors lacks.
The programs need more of a planor curriculum, so to speak. We don't use the programs as a babysitter, and feel that a lot of parents do, which means our kids don't get to progress in the programs no matter how hard they try or stay focused on the instructor. Homeschool PE has been a staple in our routine but it needs much more structure and new ideas and games for the kids to play. We really enjoy having the Y and the programs you offer, but they need some attention.

Teacher is great. My son has fun. Love they do both pokemon battles and work in physical activities!

The jujitsu program is amazing! These kids are challenged, coached, and encouraged. the respect and self discipline taught is exactly what they need. They are teaching trust the power of their bodies and how to work together.

Would love to learn new thing not thw same thing every month, would like more options on weeknight rather then weekends.

Just a bit chaotic and unorganized

The soccer skills class was just running the gym and kicking the ball on teams. I thought it would be teaching the kids skills and learning. Very disappointing with what the class name was.

The staff are great with kids and make it very enjoyable

No protocol for covid

I highly recommend Shelton YMCA swim lessons to everyone I know, the teachers are patient, kind, knowledgeable, and effective. I feel very safe when my children are in the Shelton YMCA pool. I also highly recommend the basketball program for youth, I’m really impressed how the staff work with youth on so many different levels simultaneously. I hesitate slightly to recommend the jiu-jitsu programs my child is enrolled in, when I do recommend them to friends I let them know that my child is usually happy in the program, but that the lead instructor is a person who is does not demonstrate real understanding or capacity to instruct issues around fair fighting, consent, respect, the ethics of martial arts.

We love pokemon club! My son looks forward to it all week. The club now is pretty great, but he enjoyed it more when there was more active games in the larger room. Since they moved into the smaller room and cannot play the fun more active running games he has not enjoyed as much. The only feedback would be to be able to move back into the bigger room. It seems to be empty during the pokemon timeframe so it's a bit confusing why its been pushed into the small room. Other than that he very much enjoys it.

I have been very happy with the programs offered by the Shelton YMCA. Both of my children are enrolled in programs and enjoy them.

My son enjoyed the class so far.
