Learn to love a sport at the Y! Our Bitty Basketball program focuses on giving kids a positive experience so they want to keep playing! Players are split into 2 groups, 3-4 yr olds and 5-6 yr olds, and play with age-appropriate size basketballs and 8' lowered rims.

Coaches for 3-4 yr olds will use a series of fun clinic-style practices and fundamental games that encourage kids to develop motor skills and start gaining a love for physical fitness and sports.

• Clinics will be held Tuesdays 5-5:45 PM, Thursdays 6:15-7:00 PM, Saturday 9-9:45 AM.
• These clinics will start on November 29th.  This group will not be playing games, except for fun, skill based games as the coaches and volunteers see fit.
• Picture Day TBD

The 5-6 yr group will be split into teams and play an organized game after each of their practices on either Tuesday or Thursday and all teams play on Saturday mornings. All teams will play a minimum of 6 games!

• Practices / Games will be played on Tuesday at 6:00 PM OR Thursdays at 5:00 PM and all teams will play Saturdays at either 10:15AM or 11:15 AM.
• A 30 min practice/warm up starts each session and then games typically take about 35-45 mins immediately following. Coaches may shorten practice a bit if both teams agree they are ready to begin play.
