For a better us®

COMING SOON!

The YMCA of the Coosa Valley is excited to announce that it is opening its Hub and Rental Outfitter this SUMMER! Strategically located near Noccalula Falls and Cahaba Cycles, the Hub will be a great place to connect with nature and connect the community to new programs and adventures.

At the Y we are dedicated to fun, safety and family programs that help spread our mission throughout the region. The goal of the Hub is to remove all barriers to access and make sure families throughout the Coosa Valley are served in a multitude of ways from affordable rental equipment for outdoor adventures and backyard hang outs to all kinds of Y programs.

We look forward to seeing you at The Hub!
