I am having a great time playing pickelball with a very nice and friendly group. I do not, however, see the value of this league vs. open play. There is no formal structure. We just set up the nets and play.

My kids love the YMCA. They never not want to go and they have grown pretty close to some of the coaches. They are also so kind to them and they have a blast no matter what they do.

I love the women's 50+ pickleball league, it's great and Lauren does a great job!!!

Great and caring instructors!

The coaches for youth basketball are terrific! Thank you for a great session, my son has learned a lot of new skills.

Coaches do an amazing job and my kids love it. They have a great balance of letting the kids play and practice in a fun way but also instructing them along the way.

We LOVE our Ladies 50+ Pickleball League on Wednesdays! Lauren is great to work with!

Women's over 50 Pickleball league on Wednesdays is the best! However, the staff member in charge puts her paddle in on a regular rotation to play as often as all of the participants. Wouldn't mind that if she was giving tips and instructions but she's mainly just playing. Seems silly for people to have to sit and wait a bit longer for the next game, with her taking up a slot. Previous leaders of this league would sub in if there was a need, but not automatically every game in the rotation. Just a suggestion.

We have done a number of seasons of Basketball Skills and Drills and it's really a crap shoot what kind of quality program we will get. The first session we did was great. Second one they combined the older kids with a younger group and it was super frustrating for the older kids 9-12) to have to play with the 6-7 year olds. We are in it right now and my kid is super frustrated that they are only playing on the low hoops and not working on shooting skills on the standard hoop. This doesn't build good shooting habits for them to grow. I'd love to see the time used to actually do drills and practice skills to grow at the game.

Variety of options to participate in.

The staff are all very friendly, and willing to help

Love pickle ball ! Lauren is Great !!

I've only attended pickleball open play and the league, which I have recommended to others as well!

Teachers are not that engaging with the kids.

Loved loved loved our basketball coach for my 4 year old. Honestly the best Y experience we have had yet. She was fun, attentive, and actually showed real basketball lessons. My 4 year loved it so much. Sad it's ending and another program for 4 year olds are unavailable.

The pickleball league for women is a great program! Lauren is a great addition to that session. We all have a great time playing together.

I love the womens 50÷pickleball The drop in pickleball is fun as well The locker room is always clean

Love your casual fun pickle ball drop in groups! And Wednesday afternoon Ladies League is awesome.!!! I recently learned that Sarah will no longer be running the league. Sarah is a great asset to the league. She sets up the games for us with partners, she reminds us of the rules, she keeps track of our scores so somebody wins a prize at the end and she plans a Prince pizza party for us when each session is over. We will certainly miss that. While Lauren is a very nice person, she was only there half the time at night. She didn't set up any games for us. She didn't keep any scores and nobody got a prize at the end of the night session. Basically we paid a lot of money to just play pickle ball with our friends. Please reconsider hiring Sarah back for the Ladies League. Thanks so much.

I like having an indoor space to play pickleball.

AWESOME PICKLEBALL!

Jenn is amazing and is a great coordinator of pickleball. We have a great time at pickleball league!

The gymnastics program is great my daughter loves it.

Friendly, welcoming environment. Facility is clean and up to date.

I signed up for pickleball lessons. Jen is a WONDERFUL instructor! I appreciated the schedule. Most pickleball programs seem geared for retirees schedule, this one is flexible for working people.

Casual Fun Pickle ball is great !!! Love the Ladies League on Wednesdays !!!

Keep doing the beginner pickleball league/drills lesson in the evening during the week!

Great facility but even greater staff !

Ver friendly

The knowledge of coaches to adapt instruction to meet children at the level they are at. As well making the effort to learn the children's names.

Nicely organized daytime Pickleball league and great diverse open play. The personnel are very friendly and a delight to be around.

pickle ball

Love playing pickleball in Saugus. Nice group of people play. Nice facilities.

In the over 50 women's Pickleball league we are missing the previous instructor! While the current one is capable enough, she is not as engaged, & spends a lot of time looking at her phone. With that said, appreciate the offering as it's a wonderful group of women!

Would like to see more sports for girls with women coaches. Specifically toddlers and under 6 years of age.

Great leaders. Fellow members friendly

Jen is a fantastic pickle ball coach! You should really sign up for a class with her.

Jenn who teaches pickleball is great! She offers clear instructions, is a kind teacher, and takes a student-centered approach to creating and managing her classes.

Very good team, accommodating and great activities

Gymnastics is great!

Pickleball is awesome! Great group and instructors

Love the pickleball programs and other offerings

YMCA is clean, staff is friendly. Great pickleball program.

Love the Pickleball lessons and the open play options. Also love all the options for taking different classes at multiple locations to fit my schedule. Thank you! Viola

You don't really get much from the gymnastics classes. The director there is awesome. And one of the instructors is really good, not sure what her name is, yet the majority of the girls are looking at the watch or the clock on the wall so much that they miss a ton of opportunities to actually teach. I know they probably have to keep track of time so they know when to switch but it literal seems like they're either looking at the clock or staring off into space. It's just kind o difficult as a parent watching my daughter look for help or need assistance with a movement but the teacher doesn't even seem to know she exist. Maybe some kind of automatic timer with a bell would help the instructors stay focused on the kids. Again, the lady running the program has always been wonderful. Super personable and helpful. And I know she can watch everyone all the time, but I actually stopped bringing my daughter to gymnastics after quite a few sessions because it's just a waste of money unless she gets that one awesome teacher.

I'm taking Pickleball beginner 1 course. Teacher, Jen, is fabulous. Helpful, direct, fun, feel like I'm learning a lot!

Great facility and the drop in Pickleball game was a ton of fun!

Enjoying pickleball league.

I mostly goes to saugus YMCA to play pickleball and everybody is very accommodating.

Jenn Tousant is a great organizer for pickleball at the Y. The program is run very smoothly and everyone keeps coming back for more.

My family loves ymca, we feel like home there
