Basketball

The Richardson Family YMCA offers Basketball in the winter and summer seasons.  Our youth basketball league has no tryouts and everyone is welcome. Thanks to the Y’s sports philosophy and basketball rules, kids participate in every game and receive equal playing time, regardless of skill level. Youth Basketball at the Y develops fundamental basketball skills, teaches teamwork, promotes physical activity and values in a team environment.

2024 Summer participants should register based on the calendar grade of Fall 2023 to end of Summer 2024 school year.
