Youth Basketball
After over a hundred years of teaching this sport, we’ve learned a thing or two. YMCA basketball emphasizes fun while encouraging fundamental skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship. Our program gives kids exposure to positive competition as they continue to grow as a player, athlete and person by focusing on skills, rules, mechanics and basics like listening to coaches or being a good teammate to help participants refine their skills in a sport they love. Our coaches focus on the youth basketball players’ development of building core skills such as ball handling, defense, offense, rebounding, shooting, conditioning and more. We’re creating team players and future leaders through team sports.

Indoor Basketball Leagues (Offered in the Fall)
Team players are developed at the Y through coaching that emphasizes good sportsmanship and the core values of caring honesty, respect, and responsibility. The focus is on building both athletic skills and good character, with equal playing time for all players.
Players will learn fundamentals and develop new skills while receiving quality playing time. Indoor Basketball Leagues consist of 6 weeks regular season and 2 weeks of playoff games.
Youth Basketball Leagues start from Grade K and continue through Middle School. To register, go to Indoor Youth Leagues page.
Practices and Games
There are mandatory skills showcases for basketball leagues. We will assess players to create fair and balanced teams. Note: Basketball K-1st (beginners) do NOT have a showcase. We do our best to honor friend requests made in advance while keeping a balanced league for the success of all players.
There are two time slots per division. Our basketballers always play in one of their time slots on their division’s respective weeknight(s). Regular season schedules will be provided before play begins.
Volunteer Coaching Opportunities
We’re seeking volunteers interested in coaching youth sports. Our coaches make YMCA youth sports possible and create a lifelong impact on children by encouraging participation and emphasizing sportsmanship and strong character while they are learning basic sport skills. When you become a volunteer, the Y will introduce you to coaching and provide specific resources to the sport you coach.
