Basketball
NOTHING BUT NET!
The Y offers three age-appropriate basketball leagues every winter. Don’t pass it up, give your kids a shot on the basketball court!
All Y Basketball teams will focus on teamwork and the fundamentals of dribbling, passing and shooting.
A red/white reversible Y Youth Sports Jersey is mandatory to play in Y Basketball leagues. The cost is $15 in addition to league fees. Jerseys can be picked up at the Y Member Services desk by the participant and/or their parent anytime during normal business hours. These jerseys are also used for Flag Football, T-Ball and Soccer.
No jewelry can be worn during games or practices.
Note: All in-house registrations will be charged an additional $5 in-house fee.
