Playerspace

The Le Mars YMCA uses Playerspace for electronic communication and league management. Shortly after teams are created and coaches are set, you will receive a unique login to Playerspace via email.

What does this mean for parents/coaches?

  • Convenient 24/7 online access to league information such as schedules & team information
  • You will receive emails from PlayerSpace as to updates on important sports program information
  • Parents/guardians can post and share pictures and videos with league participants.
  • Convenient access to your private Playerspace email where all league communication can be viewed at any time.
  • More detailed information as well as login usernames and passwords will be emailed once the league is set up and ready to go in Playerspace. 

Youth Sports Cancelations/Refunds

In the event that something comes up and we have to cancel one of our sports programs, we will work to let you know promptly.  Please check your emails, follow our social media accounts and sign up for Text Alerts. 

Participant Initiated Cancelations:

  • If a participant withdraws from a fee-based program 14 days prior to the start date, a full refund will be issued less a $10 processing fee. 
  • If a participant withdraws from a fee-based program < 7 days prior to the activity start date, a 75% refund will be processed.
  • Participants cancelling once program has started will be provided a program credit.
  • Not attending the program does not entitle a participant to a credit or refund.  When enrolled, the participant is reserving space, time, and staffing regardless of whether the participant attends the program.
  • When special circumstances arise where participation is not possible (i.e. family emergency), participant may request for consideration of a credit or refund.

 

YMCA Initiated Cancellations:

  • All schedules, activities, classes, and/or programs may be changed or cancelled by the Y.  If the Y cancels a fee-program due to low enrollment or staffing conflicts, a full refund will be provided.
  • Y Sports does not issue refunds after the season has started.  At times, the Le Mars YMCA may cancel a scheduled game/practice due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.  Due to reasons outside of our control we may not reschedule every game/practice.
