Summer 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!

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. 

3. How do I get on to Playerspace?2025-07-18T07:25:36+00:00

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. 

4. What if I am not receiving the information and my ex-spouse is, but we both need the league information?2025-07-18T07:24:51+00:00

This is very common and is an easy fix!  Please email us request to be invited as a “fan” of the team.

Please ensure you are logged in as yourself as the “Master Account”, and not on your child’s dashboard.
