Where the Game Began. Where Kids Still Grow.
Basketball has deep roots in the YMCA. The game was created in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith at a YMCA training school as a way to keep young people active, engaged, and working together.
Today, Youth Basketball at Lakeland Hills YMCA continues that tradition by helping kids learn the game, build confidence, develop teamwork, and experience the achievement, belonging, and relationships that make sports meaningful.
Whether your child is just learning to dribble or ready for league play, our basketball programs create a supportive place to grow on and off the court.
