Come play basketball with the people who invented it - the YMCA! Our basketball leagues are instructional programs that focus on the fundamentals of basketball and sportsmanship! League rules are adjusted to encourage kids to learn the proper way to dribble, rebound, do a lay-up, learn offensive and defensive plays, and also have FUN!

Our "holistic" approach to sports combines the fundamentals of the game with those of life - teaching sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork, and friendship. Games begin with "pre-game" talks lead by YMCA staff that focus on values and rules of the game and each ends with the YMCA Athletes' Prayer.



Who will be my child's coach?
Teams are lead by VOLUNTEER coaches! Coaches attend a YMCA training and orientation prior to the start of the season. If you are interested in being a coach please call the YMCA today!

When will my child practice & play his/her games?
Teams will practice once during the week at local community sites. We will strive to have all games at the Kraft Family YMCA. The older leagues (U10 and up) will be playing their games on Friday nights and the younger leagues will be playing on Saturdays.

How will you find out more?
Participants will be contacted by email with more information prior to the start of the season and coaches will go over more specific league information at the first team meeting / practice.
