Did you know?
Basketball was invented as an indoor winter sport by the YMCA!
We honor a tradition that stretches back over 130 years with annual Winter Leagues that promote healthy competition over rivalry and prove the value of participation over winning. The Y pairs team-building with individual development, positive self-image, and a sense of fair play.
— Boy's Leagues: 1st-8th Grades
— Girl's Leagues: 1st-5th Grades
— Player Fee: $70
Teams are given YMCA gym space for practice at designated times on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday (to be assigned as teams form). After a few practice-only weeks, teams face off with weekly games:
- 1st-2nd Grade team games are held FRIDAY EVENINGS.
- 3rd-8th Grade team games are held SATURDAYS, with younger grades starting earlier in the day.
This is the Y's most popular youth sport program and some leagues do fill completely – sign your child up early to secure a spot!
