HOOP IT UP

Basketball programs for ages 3-12 years.  Youth basketball is an exciting sport combining team play and individual skills. YMCA youth basketball has no bench warmers! Every child plays while making friends and learning new techniques. The YMCA is where most children receive their first experience with sports in a non-competitive environment. We continue to be that place to nurture the potential of children and provide teamwork opportunities in a fun, supportive way.

Basketball Clinics

Our basketball skill-building clinics provide a brief, flexible option for families interested in introducing their children to basketball or enhancing their skills prior to joining our basketball leagues. When you enroll your child in one of our skill-building sessions, they will participate in four 45-minute basketball classes led by our experienced YMCA basketball coaches. Email kclogston@whatcomymca.org if interested.

Basketball League

A non-competitive basketball league coached by volunteers. Games/practices are 45 minutes. Participants and spectators must remain in the gymnasium during the duration of the program.
