GreetinGs,Welcome to the Y. The Y is deeply committed to our community, ensuring all people have access

to opportunities to learn, grow and achieve. We hope this guide gives you an appreciation of

our commitment to our promise to nurture the growth and development of every child and

teen, to make our community a healthier place to live and to give our friends and neighbors an

opportunity to give back to their community.

My name is Billy George and I am honored to serve as the organization’s President and Chief

Executive Officer. I have been with the YMCA movement for over 30 years. For better than two

decades, we’ve dedicated ourselves to expanding YMCA services throughout the region. The Y

has experienced tremendous growth extending our services to over 250,000 men, women and

children developing life skills and growing together as a community.

We currently operate 16 family centers, two satellite fitness centers, 45 child care sites, five

junior golf programs, two outreach offices, two regional day camps, and one regional resident

camp and conference center, Camp Silver Beach on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. In addition to

the five South Hampton Roads cities of Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake and

Suffolk, our Y provides services to Franklin, the Eastern Shore, the Outer Banks, Elizabeth City

and Currituck County in North Carolina. We link arms with members, volunteers and community

partners to help improve the quality of life for everyone in our region.

Your membership entitles you access to all locations, a wide variety of programs and classes

such as Zumba and Yoga, superior fitness equipment, nine outdoor aquatic centers and spray

parks, and support and guidance from highly qualified staff members. In the last year, both the

James L. Camp, Jr. and Mt. Trashmore Family YMCAs renovated their facilities to include addi-

tional spaces for fitness, youth programming and social gathering. The Y also opened our 16th

family center, the Y on Granby. In addition, we recently launched a new and improved YMCA of

South Hampton Roads website; this new site offers easy navigation, a quick and simple regis-

tration process for programs and additional search features.

Don’t hesitate to contact Member Services if you have any questions. Discover the many ways

you and your loved one will enjoy being a part of our Y family!

In good health and happiness,

William “Billy” George

President and CEO

Your YMCA is dedicated to providing high

quality services and only the finest of facili-

ties. YMCA programs are based on the core

values of caring, honesty, respect, responsi-

bility and faith. Those values, along with our

mission, are the foundation for the YMCA of

South Hampton Roads’ service creed:

1. We strive to be the very best. We do

the best job we are capable of all the time

in every part of our organization. We are

proud of what we do and the people we

serve.

2. We are friendly, helpful and courteous. We treat all of our members, guests and

fellow associates as we would like to be

treated.

3. We smile—we are on stage. We greet all

members. We always maintain positive eye

contact and use our service vocabulary. We

tell them “Certainly,” “I will be happy to do

so,” and “It will be a pleasure.”

4. We act quickly to resolve member issues. We do everything possible to

please our members.

5. We use proper telephone etiquette. We

always try to answer in three rings and we

have a smile in our voice. If necessary, we

always ask if we may place customers on

hold. We eliminate transfer calls whenever

possible.

6. Our uniforms and costumes are immaculate. We wear proper, safe foot-

wear that is always clean. We wear our

name tags. We take pride and care in our

personal grooming.

7. We are ambassadors for our YMCA both at work and play. We always

speak positively and never make negative

comments.

8. We have passion for excellence. We always find a way to get it done.

We never give up.

9. We never say no. We say “I will be

pleased to check.” We suggest alternatives.

We call a manager if we cannot satisfy the

needs of a member.

10. We are knowledgeable about all YMCA member and program information. We

always recommend programs, classes or

fellowship opportunities to our members.

To be known, practiced, owned and embraced by all staff associates of the YMCA of South Hampton Roads.

STAY & PlAYFamily members have the opportunity to utilize

the YMCA’s Stay & Play service for no longer than two hours per day. A parent must be in the facility or on the premises at this time. This YMCA service is intended for children six

weeks to seven years old. Our program is

considered a child-minding service, which

means that a parent must be able to resume

responsibility for his or her child’s supervision

within 30 minutes. See the following pages for

options for youth ages five and older. These

additional guidelines apply:

• Due to severe food allergies, please refrain

from bringing food into Stay & Play.

• Ensure your child has been fed prior to his

or her stay; regular scheduled feedings are

not conducted. (To comfort young ones, we

will administer bottles.)

• Please fill formula bottles, change your

child’s diaper and/or take your child to the

restroom before entering Stay & Play. Dia-

per changing will be provided in the centers

that have the facilities. In some centers,

diaper changing is not possible, in which

Stay & Play staff will locate you in the facil-

ity. Contact your family center to find out if

diaper changing is available.

• Check with Stay & Play staff on sign-in/out

procedures. You’ll need to complete a

registration card and will be required to

present your membership card.

• Children must wear closed-toe shoes; no

sandals or flip flops are allowed.

• Sick children are not permitted in Stay &

Play. A sick child is defined as a child who

has: a fever within the last 24 hours; diar-

rhea; vomiting; rash or open sores; cough;

cold symptoms; lice; etc.

• Stay & Play staff will not administer

medication to your child.

• Positive discipline such as redirection and

logical consequences will be used when

behavior problems arise. Chronic problems

may result in suspended privileges for a

period of time.

• Stay & Play staff will locate a parent if a

child cries for a prolonged period of time

(every effort will be made to soothe the

child).

• Please do not allow your child to bring any

toys from home. This will avoid toys being

lost or broken.

There is at least one staff person on site

trained in First Aid, CPR and rescue breathing.

For complete information, pick up your Stay & Play Parent Guide at your local Y’s Stay & Play Center or at Member Services.

FootWeArFor your safety, appropriate footwear inside

the Y is mandatory.

MeDiCAl eMeRGenCYYMCA staff members are CPR, First-Aid and

AED (automatic external defibrillator) trained

and certified. AEDs are available in all centers.

Please see a staff member if someone needs

assistance.

eMeRGenCY PlAnThe YMCA of South Hampton Roads has

established emergency procedures that are

available and posted at each location. Staff

have been trained to adhere to this plan, which

covers injuries, cardiac arrest, evacuation,

power failure, natural disasters, loss of

communication and more.

PeRSOnAl BelOnGinGSPlease take special care in locking up all

personal belongings in both the locker rooms

and in your car. The Y is not responsible for

any items left on YMCA property. If you don’t

have a lock to secure items, complimentary

key locks are available at the Member Services

desk for short-term use. Items found that do

not pose a health risk and are considered to

have a monetary value, will be retained for 90

days. After such time the YMCA will consider

the property abandoned and dispose through

either sale of the item, donating proceeds

to the We Build People fund, or discard the

item. Members are encouraged to inquire at

the service desk regarding a lost item and may

be asked to describe the item when making a

While the staff and volunteers of the Y go to great lengths to outline all rules and policies to ensure the comfort and safety of you, your family, and

other members, it is simply impossible to foresee or communicate every situation that may arise requiring a YMCA response. The Y’s management

reserves the right to amend or add a policies/operating rules to ensure the safety and comfort of all users. The YMCA of South Hampton Roads also

understands that consistency among our family centers is a cornerstone of our business practice and wants all members to be met with the same rules

regardless of which center they visit. However, due to varying facility designs, space and amenities, from time to time you may see a variation to a rule

or policy between our centers. Please contact the Executive or Membership Director at any of our facilities should you have any questions.

to ensure that claimed items are returned to

vided at all centers and are identified by

signage.

lOST/STOlen PROPeRTYPlease safeguard your valuables inside the Y

and vehicle. If you don’t have a lock to secure

items, complimentary key locks are available

at the Member Services desk for short-term

use. The Y is not responsible for lost, stolen or

damaged personal property.

Cell PHOneSCell phone usage is NOT permitted in the

FitQuest center, Wellness Center, Free-Weight

Center, Group Exercise classes, locker rooms

or bathrooms at all YMCAs. Cameras on cell

phones are not to be used in the YMCA at

any time.

GuestsOur first priority is to serve our members who

have made a commitment to the Y by joining.

The purpose behind our guest policy is to

enhance member service to current members

who are encouraging a friend to join and make

reasonable accommodations for members of

other YMCAs traveling in our area, for out-

of-town family of current members and for

out-of-town visitors. All YMCA of South

Hampton Roads centers are part of one asso-

ciation; therefore, a visit to one location

counts as a visit to all centers.

Out-of-Town Guests of Members• Must be accompanied by a member

• A member may bring a maximum

of five guests per visit

• Guests may visit up to 14 days per

calendar year

• $5 guest fee per person, per visit

• Must live 100 miles outside of our service

area and not a current YMCA member (see

AWAY Program)

in-Town Guests• One complimentary visit per year

• Second visit $5 per person

• Third visit $10 per person

(no more than three visits per year)

Centers can restrict guest usage, hours

of usage and area of usage with or with-

out notice to ensure the safety and comfort

of members. We highly encourage members

to contact the YMCA prior to visiting with a

guest to inquire about any guest restrictions

due to demands on the facility.

Visiting From Another YMCA Association The first week of usage is free of charge

(first day of usage triggers one-week period,

remaining six days must be concurrent). The

second week of concurrent usage is half the

guest fee ($2.50) per visit. The third week and

beyond of concurrent usage is $5 per visit.

AWAY members are considered 100 miles

outside of our service area. The Outer Banks

Family YMCA is excluded from this program.

The Peninsula YMCA and YMCA of Portsmouth

are not affiliated with the South Hampton

Roads association, which serves Coastal Vir-

ginia and Northeastern North Carolina.

AWAY proGrAM When you join a YMCA, you become part of a

national movement of 21 million members in

more than 2,600 YMCAs. Because each YMCA

is autonomous, not-for-profit, and not a fran-

chise, local YMCA policies vary on the use of

equipment, facilities, services and programs

by visiting members from out-of-town or from

nearby YMCAs. If you plan to visit another

YMCA, it is a good idea to call that YMCA

about visiting member policies.

FinAnCiAl ASSiSTAnCeThe YMCA offers financial assistance to those

in need through our Open Doors program.

We do not turn anyone away due to his or her

inability to pay membership or program fees.

Full or partial subsidies are available because

of the generosity of members and friends who

make gifts to the YMCA’s annual giving cam-

paign, We Build People. Subsidies are based on

the individual’s demonstrated ability to pay,

the YMCA’s ability to fund the subsidy, and the

space available. For more information about

the Open Doors program, contact Member

Services.

ChAnGesPlease inform Member Services if a change

has been made to your address, phone num-

ber, bank draft (if applicable) or family member

status. It is also important to notify Member

Services if you or a family member have a

health concern. Membership records and

cards are the property of the YMCA of South

Hampton Roads.

lOST CARDPlease inform the Member Services desk staff

if you have lost your member identification

card. A replacement fee may be required.

PROGRAM ReFunDSIf the YMCA has to cancel a program, you will

receive a full refund. If you have to cancel after

signing up for a program, prior to the start

date, the YMCA will provide you with a 100%

credit (good for three months) to be applied

toward another program or provide a 100%

refund if you have to cancel for medical rea-

sons. No refunds or credits can be given after

the program begins. If an individual misses or

must drop out during a program for medical/

family emergencies, classes may be made up

where space is available. All credits are non-

transferable. Camp deposits (to secure camp

sessions) are nonrefundable after June 1.

ReTuRneD CHeCkSReturned checks, EFT or Credit Card

transactions will be assessed a $25 returned

payment fee.

CAnCellATiOnIf you wish to terminate your membership,

please give the YMCA a 30-day written notice

to stop your bank draft. Your membership will

expire 30 days after your last draft. Member-

ship fees are not refundable.

does not allow solicitation of business or

services in YMCA centers or program areas.
