we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone,
regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to

See you at the Y!

our health and our neighbors. That’s why strengthening
community is our cause. Every day we work side by side with

life. That’s why we’re here with you every day, making sure that
you, your family and your community have the resources
and support needed to learn, grow and thrive. We do that
by encouraging good health and fostering connections with
new and old friends through sports, fun and shared interests.

PROGRAM POLICIES
Areas of Focus
The Y offers programs, services and initiatives focused on youth
development, healthy living and social responsibility, according to the
unique needs of the communities it engages. The Y is accessible to
all people. Financial assistance is offered to individuals and families
who cannot afford a membership.
A.W.A.Y. Program
Bring your YMCA membership card while traveling. The Y’s that
participate in the A.W.A.Y. program welcome you at their facility.
Code of Conduct
All individuals using the YMCA facilities are expected to conduct
themselves in a manner consistent with the character, welfare, best
interests and policies of the YMCA. Failure to do so will result in the
immediate dismissal from the premises and may result in revocation
of membership and/or usage privileges.
Crossroads YMCA
Crossroads YMCA is the association that includes four branches in
Lake County, Indiana: Griffith, Hammond, Southlake and Whiting.
Crossroads Y members can participate in programs at any branch,
not just their home branch.
Dress Code Policy
Garments that have pictures and/or writing that are vulgar, suggestive, indecent or otherwise offensive or that allude to drugs, alcoholic drinks or gang involvement are not allowed. Shirts and shoes
must be worn in building. Individuals are not permitted to dress in a
manner that’s unsafe or disrupts the mission of the Hammond Family
YMCA. Members who do not follow the dress code policy will be required to leave the building. Continual abuse of the policy will result
in membership suspension or cancellation. Workout clothing and
hygiene items should be carried in a gym bag. Shirts and proper gym
shoes must be worn at all times.
Financial Assistance Program
The Hammond Family YMCA wants everyone to enjoy its programs
and services. Adult and family members who are unable to pay the
full cost of YMCA membership may apply for reduced fees. The YMCA
will not turn anyone away due to inability to pay. A Financial Assistance application and last year’s IRS tax returns must be presented.
Crossroads YMCA— Griffith, Hammond, Southlake, and Whiting branches | Page 5
This process is required to be done annually. Failure to comply will
result in automatic cancellation. Please contact Jimmy Gonzales, Associate Director at ext. 228 for membership assistance.
Indiana Reciprocity
The Y movement is for youth development, healthy living and social
responsibility. We want to encourage members to utilize the Y as
often as they can. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for members to
utilize a Y in a different location when traveling, near a workplace or
in another region. Now, full facility/full privilege YMCA members have
the flexibility to use other Y facilities throughout the state, at no extra charge and receive member pricing on programs.
Locker Room Policy
The YMCA is not responsible for your personal belongings. Members
are urged to use locks on their lockers. We suggest not bringing
valuables of any kind. If you choose to use one of the free daily lockers, your belongings must be removed upon leaving the facility for
the day. Belongings left in the locker or locks left on daily lockers will
be removed at the end of the day—contents will be held for 2 weeks
then discarded. Use of CAMERA DEVICES are prohibited in all Locker
Rooms, Assisted Changing Rooms and Restrooms.
Medical Insurance
Individual medical insurance is NOT provided by Hammond Family
YMCA. Individuals are responsible for their own medical costs arising
from injuries while participating in YMCA activities.
Phone and Online Registration

a program registration with the exception of childcare (childcare
registration and payments must be done in person), provided there
are still openings in the program and current credit card is on file.

programs, with the exception of childcare, can register online. We
cannot guarantee a space will be available when using this method.

the YMCA cancels the class. System credits are given for doctor
substantiated reasons and then only for the portion of the fees
unused after written notification. No refunds or credits will be given
for classes or sessions not held due to “acts of God” such as severe

year or $6.25 on a monthly bank draft.
Special Age Requirements
Children 11 years and under must have a parent or guardian with
them in the building. The Hammond Family YMCA is a “programmed”
facility, meaning the time we spend with children is scheduled. We
encourage the use of our facility (Open Gym, Open Recreation) by
our youth members; however, we do not provide staff supervision for
these times and recommend that you enroll your child in one of our
many programs if he or she plans on being at the YMCA for longer
than two hours.

the YMCA for the day without being enrolled in a specific program may be considered neglected. We reserve the right to contact the proper authorities.

when using the facility. There is a $5.00 charge for replacing cards.
Y Racquetball Court Policy
All court times are reserved in one hour increments. Court must be
relinquished upon expiration of reserved time. Court may be reserved
up to two (2) days in advance. If court is reserved the same day—no

Water Walking/Jogging Water walking offers several benefits over taking
your typical stroll on land. The water provides resistance, making your muscles work harder to move forward. At the same time, it provides buoyancy,
helping reduce strain to your joints. Changing your water walking routine

the exercise. Water jogging increases your cardiovascular capacity minus
wear and tear on your muscles.
