Join our McGaw YMCA racquet sports community where fitness, fellowship, and fun meet this summer. McGaw’s courts are open for single-hitting reservations as well as for multiple player reservations per court during select hours to allow for partner and gameplay while preserving the highest standards in health, safety and contact tracing. Please see the revised facility protocols below for more details.
Multi-player use of the courts now extends to all hours. Whether playing singles or doubles matches or single hitting, each individual player must make a reservation through McGaw MindBody.
