“Fullerton Family <strong>YMCA</strong> is the best Y in<br />
OC. The basketball program was a great<br />
experience for my son and he really<br />
enjoyed playing at the <strong>YMCA</strong>. He really<br />
liked his coach. I personally enjoyed<br />
watching my son have fun and was<br />
pleased with his coach because he was<br />
always in communication with us as<br />
well as other parents. He thought my<br />
son had great skills and great values.<br />
Coach Daniel Park was GREAT!”<br />
