ODESSA YMCA CLOSED MARCH 20TH - APRIL 3RD

ODESSA FAMILY YMCA CLOSING FACILITIES IN RESPONSE TO MANDATE FROM GOVERNOR ABBOTT’S OFFICE

At the Odessa Family YMCA, the safety and well-being of our members, staff, volunteers and the broader Odessa community have always been and will always be a top priority.

We have been diligently monitoring all national and local updates surrounding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation. Following the recent mandate from Governor Abbott’s office and in order to best ensure the health of our entire Y community, we are closing our Odessa facility and learning centers to the public effective March 20, 2020 through at least April 3, 2020.

We understand this is a very concerning situation. The Odessa Family Y has been a pillar of the Odessa community for more than 50 years, throughout both good and challenging times.

During this closure, you can expect regular updates from us via email. our website www.odessaymca.org and our social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, @odessaymca

We are asking everyone to follow the guidance of local health and government agencies, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and take their own measures to protect themselves, including not putting themselves in situations with large crowds or where they come in close contact with others, staying home if they do not feel well, frequently washing their hands with soap and water and covering their coughs and sneezes.

We will continue to work with the health department and local physicians to determine what other actions, if any, would be prudent on our part and when it will be safe to reopen our facilities.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this evolving and challenging situation. We look forward to returning to business as usual as soon as possible. Please stay safe!

With gratitude,

Crissy Medina

7 on 7 football is a program that many high schools and middle schools run during off season.

7 on 7 is played without pads and receivers are downed by one-hand touch (there are no flags involved).

7 on 7 is also a passing only game. There are no offensive rushing plays and defenders cannot rush the QB. 7 on 7 is to train skills that football players need to succeed in their regular football games.

7 on 7 differs from regular football in that there are seven players on each side of the ball. There is no tackling or linemen and play begins at the 45 yard line. 3 plays to gain a 1st down which is 15 yards. QB only has 4 seconds to throw to a receiver, who is defended in pass coverage.

A mouth guard is required and may be purchased at a sporting goods store.
