BASKETBALL 

Also serving:

  • Royse City
  • Heath

The J.E.R. Chilton YMCA at Rockwall's basketball program is offered in the winter season.  The program helps kids become not only better basketball players, but better people as well. Youth basketball is a progressive program, with multiple age-specific levels. Every child gets to play and the games are safe, exciting and fun. We encourage fair play, positive competition, and family involvement.

Unlike most youth basketball leagues, the Y has no tryouts. So all kids can experience basketball in a fun, friendly, level playing field that allows all players to have fun. Kids basketball is for PreK (ages 3 -4 yrs) and Youth (Grades k thru 8th). 

Basketball is played in the winter. Registration begins in September and the season begins in January for PRE-K and December for YOUTH. 

Winter Participants should register based on the calendar grade of Fall 2023 to end of Summer 2024 school year.   Children must turn 3 by September 1st to play.
