  • If you are ready to log in and you are a YMCA member or past member, you have two choices. If you know your member ID number, you can use the left side login. If you do not know your ID number, you may use the right side of the screen and enter your name. Your first login will be either your ID or first and last name and your password will be the first initial of your first and last name and your birthdate. For example: if your name is Michael Smith and your birth date is March 11, 1979, then your password would be ms031179. The system is case sensitive, so if you put the ms in as MS031179, it will require you to use caps on your next login. If you are logging in for someone under 18, the parent/guardian should use the initials and birthdate of the minor Please note that if you login with your name, it must match exactly with what is in our system. So, if your name is Steven and you are in the system as Steve, you must use Steve to login or you will not be allowed to login. If you have a printed card with your picture on it, your name appears just as it is in our system. Our key tag cards do not carry this information. Once you have successfully logged in, the next screen will list each member of your family that has been linked together in our database. Click on the name of the person you wish to register for a program.
