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 Nov. 28th at 9:00 AM.  This group will not be playing games, except for fun, skill based games as the coaches and volunteers see fit.
