Membership

Because of our affiliation with the the Katy Family YMCA, joining is a two-step process. First a family joins the YMCA either as a Family Member or as a Program Member. Program membership does not include access to the Y's facilities, just programs like the Trailblazers. The Katy YMCA has extended free Program Membership to Katori Trails families who are not already YMCA members. Also, Trailblazer families need not reside within the geographical service area of the Katy Family YMCA. Then, the family actually joins the Trailblazers.

If you were not a Family Member or a Program Member of the Katy Family YMCA last year (for example, you are a new Trailblazers family), please complete the application form (PDF) completely and legibly, including Email contact information. Since it requires dad's signature, please scan and Email the completed, signed form to Brandon Gonzalez, Katy YMCA Program Director, fax it to 281-392-4664 or mail it to Brandon or drop it off at the Katy Family YMCA, 22807 Westheimer Parkway, Katy TX 77494. Note that "Grade(08-09)" is a typographical error and it refers to your child's grade during the 2009-2010 school year.

Within two business days, you should receive Email from Brandon with further details of the second step. If that message does not reach you, please call the Katy Family YMCA at 281-392-5055 to follow up.

Trailblazer families from last year were sent an Email message from Brandon at the end of July with the instructions on how to proceed with the second step. Please contact Brandon if you did not get those instructions.

If you encounter any problems in joining, please visit or call the Katy Family YMCA. They are very helpful.
