YMCA of Hannibal — Local services in Hannibal

Edit: another game we couldn’t watch. Can’t watch most of them because of people standing in front of the bleachers blocking the court. The YMCA does send out a notice asking them not to but they need to come in and enforce it during games. I go to EVERY game and have not ever seen them tell people to sit down. It’s just ridiculous. Today we watched a little boy picking up the soccer ball and carrying it to the goal and then kicking it in multiple times. Any other kid did that and they take the ball away and start the play again. The sport programs for children are a joke. First of all it is $80 to put a child in any of the sports for 6 games. The games are 16 min long total. That is way too much. I guess some people do get it for free but not us. Parents do not follow the rules. There is to be no drinks or food on the gym floor. There are children with candy and other food and drinks on the floor which distracts the other children who want the candy! So many people do not sit down. They stand in front of everyone so nobody can see the game. I have yet to be able to see an entire game. I have talked to the people who run the program and they said they check each game. Not true. If they did they would have to say something and I don’t think they would say a thing as long as they are getting their money. Also, when you sign your child up for to play with 3 and 4 year olds they will also put 5 year olds in with them. There is a huge difference between a 3 year old and a 5 year old. The 3 year olds don’t stand a chance. I wish we had somewhere else but it’s a small town and that’s all we have available. Thank goodness for Bear Creek for baseball so we don’t have to use the...

I love the YMCA, don't get me wrong. I swam on swim team for several years, and have been a member for 5-7 years.

My issue is that the Swimming hours are TERRIBLE. Always activities taking up the pool, and now I understand why people had issues with the swim team.

The hours for the pool have been reduced, and the weekends are terrible. On top of this, the rates have increased.

I remember when the pool was open till 10:00PM on the week days and open till 8 on Saturday, and 6 on Sunday, now its just been shrunk so much.

Swim team needs their own pool, or there needs to be a 'half size' pool for the parents/kids, and older people activities. The main pools just need to be lap swim and swim team ONLY.

Again, I love the YMCA, and the people that work there. Just think it has been getting more constricting for the 'middle class' of the Hannibal area, and without any other convenient option for a lap pool, we...

I’ve gone to this YMCA since I was a kid and have fond memories but as an adult…. You are so limited in what you can do anymore. The pool is always busy with scheduled practice/ events which I get if there was much else to do anymore. The vr area only allows kids age 8-15 so NO adults are allowed to play at any time EVER and I guess once you enter highschool you’re too old to play in there anymore too. I had no clue of that before I paid and was super excited to try it only to find the door locked and be told I’m too old. It seems a waste as I think it would be a huge draw for both kids and adults. I understand not wanting adults to take over the space meant for kids but not having ANY time for adults to plays seems so odd. I understand it’s a family center but I wish I could come back as an adult and have as much fun as I used to...
