Team/Coach Requests: Please note any requests (coach, teammate, schedule) when registering. It should be noted that not all requests can be fulfilled. Refunds will not be given simply because a participant fails to participate.
Coaches Meeting: There will be a mandatory coaches meeting on Monday, December 8th at 6:30pm in the YMCA Gymnasium. All teams must have either the head coach or an assistant in attendance.
Practices: Practices may begin the week of December 8th. Practices will be conducted once weekly during the season and scheduled by coaches. Due to limited court space, practice days will be assigned as follows to ensure an equal opportunity for court space. This will also promote the opportunity for teams to scrimmage throughout the season.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own basketballs to practice. Basketball/Athletic shoes are recommended. Black sole or non-athletic shoes are prohibited.

Background Checks: For the safety of our members and program participants, the YMCA of McCook requires all volunteer coaches to complete and pass a background check. This process will be conducted electronically through One Source and must be completed at minimum every three years. A coach will not be allowed to participate should they have an outstanding/pending/expired/denied background screen. Additionally, any volunteer coach who fails to complete the background check process will not be allowed to coach in any YMCA organized practice or game. A link from One Source will be provided via email to the volunteer coach by the Sports Director with additional information to get the background check process completed. The cost of the Background Check will be covered by the YMCA of McCook.
