Youth basketball is an exciting sport combining team play and individual skills. YMCA Youth Basketball Leagues promises no tryouts, no getting cut, and no bench warmers! The YMCA Youth Basketball Leagues help kids become not only become better players but better people as well. It’s a progressive program, with multiple age-specific levels. Every child gets to play and the games are safe, exciting and fun. We encourage fair play, positive competition, and family involvement.
FOCUS: YMCA utilizes volunteer coaches to focus on participation and fun! While basic skills of the game are developed through practices and games, every child learns sportsmanship and values necessary to be successful in life. Every game begins with a Youth Basketball Leagues Sports Pledge and ends with a handshake.
