Youth Basketball
Dribble, Pass and Shoot
Did you know the YMCA invented basketball in 1891?
There is no better place to learn the basics of basketball than with the YMCA. Learn the skills of dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense through our youth basketball program. Both staff and volunteer coaches help provide a program full of skill development and fun in a supportive environment. Kids who engage in youth sports discover more than their athletic abilities. They experience a sense of belonging and learn how to work with others.
