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 Dec 4th at 9:00 AM. 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 1 on Saturday mornings for 4 weeks in December. 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. The first practice for your team: Dec 4th will be strictly practice slots for 1 hour. Games will begin on Dec. 9th or 11th for all teams in this league.
