Youth Basketball

YMCA Youth Recreational Basketball

This program provides the opportunity to learn fundamental basketball skills. All participants are given the opportunity to play equal amounts during games. The hoop heights and basketball sizes change as the players become older, which allow for easier progression. Teams will practice once during the week and play a game on Saturday’s.
