Youth Basketball
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.

Junior League (7-9 Yrs Old)
Junior League is where young athletes take their skills up a notch! This program builds on the fundamentals—dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense—while introducing players to structured game play and team strategies. Practices are designed to be active, engaging, and fun, giving participants plenty of opportunities to practice new skills in a supportive setting.
Our coaches focus on teamwork, sportsmanship, and helping each player grow their confidence on the court. Junior League is perfect for kids ready to challenge themselves, play with friends, and experience the excitement of competitive basketball in a positive environment.
Program Fee: $95.00 Members / $150.00 Non-Members
