WHERE KIDS BUILD CONFIDENCE AND SPORTSMANSHIP

Basketball Camp is a structured, development-focused program geared toward boys and designed for athletes who are ready to learn, grow, and train with peers. Girls may register at their discretion. Held in the Y’s gymnasium, campers will hone skill development, teamwork, conditioning, and sportsmanship in a positive, safe, and enriching environment. Sessions are designed for athletes who benefit from instruction, repetition, and group-based learning with peers. New this year, athletes will be grouped by the following ages to promote confidence, appropriate competition, and strong peer connections: ages 8-10, 11-13, and 14-18.
