Build Skills. Boost Confidence.
The YMCA Basketball Academy is a youth training program designed to help kids ages 6–12 improve their basketball fundamentals in a fun, supportive setting. Whether your child is brand new to the game or wants to level up their skills, our academy-style format provides the structure and encouragement to grow as a young athlete.
Led by experienced and passionate YMCA coaches, each session emphasizes:
· Skill development through fun and purposeful drills
· Learning basketball fundamentals like shooting, dribbling, passing and defense
· Building confidence, character and sportsmanship through positive coaching
· Scrimmage-style play for practical application without the pressure of traditional leagues
This program is a great fit for families looking for structured basketball training that focuses on individual growth and enjoyment of the game.
