Other Programs

This list includes programs that do not require advance registration or those that do not appear in the online registration portal. 

ADULT PICKLEBALL

A paddle sport for all ages and athletic abilities, Pickleball is like over-sized ping-pong played on a badminton-sized court with a tennis net. With simple and easy-to-follow rules, it is the perfect game for all ages to learn and play. Give it a try on weekday mornings at the Marion YMCA for a drop-in fee. Guests should bring their own paddle and balls and will need to complete a participation waiver upon initial visit.

NOTES: Drop-in fee only provides access to the pickleball courts in the gym during the times listed.

ADULT TAI CHI FITNESS

Drop In, No cost for program.
