(3) sign in to register

Once you click on the orange button register your login screen will appear. To login for the first time, you should have your membership card in front of you. Only members over the age of 18 will be allowed to login…

• You have two options for logging in…

• The first option:
• Look at Your Valley of the Sun YMCA Membership ID Card, You should see a 5 or 6 digit number above the bar code on the right. In the example provided above, this number is 222452…this is the “ymca id number”. Enter your ymca id number in the blank provided.

• After you enter your id number, you need to enter your password. The first time you login you should use your first and last initials plus your birth date. In the example above the password would be ls060165 Note: the password should be in lower case and the month, day and year should each be represented by two digits. If you are logging in for a Youth Membership or a Program Membership for someone under the age of 18, the parent should use the Youth or Program Members YMCA id number, inititals and birthdate.

• Once you have entered your ‘first time login password’ click on Login or press Enter.

• The second option:

· if you do not have your Membership ID Card in front of you, you can also type in your last name, first name and the same password as described above…your name & password will have to match what our database holds, so if your name is Stephen and we have you in our database as Steve, it will not allow you to login. You membership ID card has your name printed exactly the same as we have in our database.

Click on “Update Info”. You may update your email or password at anytime and as often as you need to.

• A screen will come up showing you what your information was updated to and you may click on continue from here.

• You can now register for the program you selected above…

• Once you are logged in and try to register, the program checks the age of the member and the membership type, to make sure the member is eligible for the program, if either of the criteria do not match the eligible criteria for the program, the registration will not be allowed. If you believe that this IS the class that the member should be in, you will need to contact the appropriate branch to find out what you need to do to be eligible for this program.
