It depends on the activity and the centre.

• Racquet sports: for the Saint-Roch centre, you need to reserve the court. For other centres, you only need to book your spot.
• Other sports: you need to book your spot, not the court.  

Reservations can be made online or directly at your centre and are based on availability. You can find the sports that require a reservation in our programming calendar.

Note: every reservation is for a specific time slot (it is not a recurring reservation).

Yes. Several time slots are open to the public and allow players to form teams on the spot. We promote community spirit and inclusion, and our staff is responsible for creating balanced teams to ensure everyone enjoys the experience.

This is a great opportunity to meet other people, form connections, and play in a friendly atmosphere.

When you reserve an activity (except for racquet sports at the Saint-Roch YMCA), you are reserving an individual spot, and teams will be formed with other members.

Yes, basic equipment (balls, nets, etc.) are all provided.

However, we do recommend bringing your own equipment if you can (e.g., pickleball paddles or badminton racquets).
