Volunteer Opportunities:

The YMCA relies strictly on volunteers to coach and referee youth sports programs. Without your help, our kids will not have the opportunity to learn the importance of teamwork, the basics of basketball and how to gain confidence. This program will NOT run if we don’t have enough volunteers. If you are able to help coach, assist or referee, please indicate such during this registration process.

Financial Assistance: Thanks to our generous donors, we provide financial assistance for memberships, programs and childcare giving everyone the chance to grow and thrive. To apply for financial assistance for youth basketball, complete our application HERE.

We’re going paperless! Team rosters, practice schedules and game information will be posted on Y GAMETIME, our NEW sports and league management site. More details will be available soon!

Rosters, practice info and other league info will be available on Y GAMETIME on 11/28/2023. Game schedules will be posted by 12/22/2023.
