Boys' Basketball
Playing basketball at the Y is an amazing way to make new friends, learn new skills, gain confidence, live the Y Core Values, compete and most importantly Have Fun! At the Y, we provide two options for Boys to participate in and be a part of the program. In every aspect of both leagues, we uphold the YMCA’s core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility, creating a positive and supportive environment for all participants.
Y-Ball Recreational League
Y-Ball is our recreational Y Basketball program for grades Kinder-7th grade. This program is an opportunity for youth of all abilities and backgrounds to play recreational basketball in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. Every player gets equal playtime in Y-Basketball, regardless of their position or individual ability.
Competitive Y Basketball League
The Competitive League is designed for players in grades 5–8 who are ready for a higher level of play and skill development. This league emphasizes teamwork, sportsmanship, and advanced competition, while continuing to support each player’s growth both on and off the court.
While tryouts will not occur, teams will be formed based on geographical location and school attended, as best as possible. Please note that travel may be required, as we cannot guarantee placement on a team near each player’s school.
Although equal playing time is not guaranteed, all players will receive playing time throughout the season.
AGES/GRADES:
