Youth Basketball
The Southington YMCA basketball program is designed for both beginning and continuing players.
For beginners, our focus is on giving a great introduction to the game of Basketball! We emphasize basic skill development and non-competitive game experience. The beginner classes are intended to associate basketball with having fun. Dribbling, passing, shooting, defense, team play and other basic game concepts and rules are highlighted.
Continuing Players: For athletes who already have some basketball experience, this class focuses on improving existing skills and building game awareness. Players will strengthen their fundamentals, develop new techniques, and gain a deeper understanding of team play.
Fair play, sportsmanship and FUN are emphasized for both classes.
All Stars (9-10 years) - Fall 2 2025
At this age level, we will work on more advanced skills, plays and game-play development throughout the session. There will be basketball games and scrimmages each game.
