Winter Sports 2026
Youth Sports
At the Idaho Falls Family YMCA our sports programs are designed to build more than just athletic skills – We focus on teamwork, confidence, and character development in a fun and supportive environment. Our leagues rely on caring volunteer coaches who help guide and encourage each player, making a lasting impact both on and off the field. As a parent, you’ll see your child grow through positive play, and you’re always welcome to get involved as a coach or helper – no experience needed, just a willingness to support kids and be part of the Y community!
At the Idaho Falls YMCA we use PlayerSpace for game schedules and team rosters! Please make sure you have the app downloaded prior to the beginning of the season!

FAQs
Playerspace is a sports communication portal, partnered with the Idaho Falls YMCA program, to strengthen the overall communications for our sports leagues.
You will find all the essential information for your player(s) league(s). You can find game/practice schedules, coach contact information, and even receive messages from your coach or other parents on the team. You will also receive messages regarding team pictures, weather status updates and cancellations for games/practices.
When you register your child for the sports league, you automatically are registered with an account on Playerspace. There is no need to create a new account! You will receive an e-mail with your username and password the first week of practice. From there you can visit playerspace.com and click “sign-in” at the top of right corner.
This is very common and is an easy fix! Please email us request to be invited as a “fan” of the team. You will also need permission from the main account holder and from there you will receive an email with a link that you will need to click on to be added. Once you have been added as a “fan” you will be able to see all of the necessary league information.
Be sure to check your junk, trash and spam folders for Playerspace. You will need to add notifications@playerspace.com to your safe sender list. If you still are not receiving emails, please contact the Sports Department sports1@idahofallsymca.org.
Please ensure you are logged in as yourself as the “Master Account”, and not on your child’s dashboard. To tell if you are logged in as one of your children, check to see if it states your name’s dashboard or your child’s dashboard. To login as yourself, simply visit playerspace.com and login with your credentials that were emailed.
Yes, there is! The Playerspace mobile app is available in the App Store and Google Play Store. It is free and does not take up much storage space on your phone. Your login credentials will be the same for both the app and your online web browser.
