Youth Basketball Leagues for children & teens ages 6 -16 provide a fun and supportive environment for your child to learn, grow, and thrive.

With an emphasis on teamwork and good sportsmanship, your child will learn the fundamentals of the game and develop skills in the following areas:

  • Conditioning & Agility
  • Moves with/without the basketball
  • Ball handling
  • Passing & Catching
  • Defense
  • Rebounding
  • Shooting
  • Sportsmanship

In addition to practices and skill development, your child will engage in competition with other local YMCA teams across the county. Team formation is determined after an initial skill assessment of all participants to establish appropriate developmental and age divisions. Join us on September 25th for a FREE Open House and fall session Skill Assessments.

The Love for the Game
Written by: Amy Truong

First, it's the first step
Into the court where your feelings begin to roam
It's the friends and teammates that remind you of home
Coaches that push you to do your best
Where your talents are constantly put to the test

Yet, it's there at the game
Crowd cheering on the sides
You can see the glint of passion in your opponent's eyes
Jump, shoot, rebound, defense...
Plays run through your head
Fouls, whistles, coaches, players, and refs...nothing is left unsaid

Take a deep breath
Beads of sweat roll down your face
Both sides don't seem to be slowing in this race
Time winds down, the game is tied
Which team will let their power subside?

Only for a moment, and only then
You begin to wonder what lit that flame?
Perhaps it was the place that fueled your love for the game
And beyond the will to defeat your opponent till the end
You suddenly remember
That you two are both friends
