For our 2025 Fall Season, we’ve redesigned YMCA Youth Basketball with one goal in mind: help kids build confidence through fundamentals first.

Too often, kids are thrown straight into games before they’re ready. At the Y, we believe learning the basics — dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork — sets the foundation for success. By focusing on skills first, your child develops confidence on the court, making gameplay more fun and rewarding when they’re ready for league play.

Our new three-level pathway grows with your child:

• Fundamentals (Ages 4–6): Skills only, no games. Ends with a Parent Night + Skills Showcase.

• Junior League (Ages 7–9): Introduces structured games in a supportive environment.

• Varsity League (Ages 10–12): Competitive league play with coaching, teamwork, and a playoff tournament.

At every level, kids are learning, growing, and having fun — the way youth sports should be.
