Basketball
From building stronger skills to gaining self-confidence, our youth basketball program is about more than just the game. It is about building the whole child from the inside out. Our coaches focus on the youth basketball players’ development of building core skills such as ball handling, defense, offense, rebounding, shooting, conditioning and more. We’re creating team players and future leaders through team sports. Your kids will learn good sportsmanship and teamwork, develop positive friendships and you’ll build a network of like-minded parents.
Volunteer Coaching Opportunities
We’re seeking volunteers interested in coaching youth sports. Our coaches make YMCA youth sports possible and create a lifelong impact on children by encouraging participation and emphasizing sportsmanship and strong character while they are learning basic sport skills. When you become a volunteer, the Y will introduce you to coaching and provide specific resources to the sport you coach. If your child is a player, getting involved at their practices can help them feel comfortable to practice with you outside of official practice time. Apply today!
Basketball Skills & Drills Clinic Ages 8 - 12
You don’t have to be the biggest or the fastest ball player, it’s the players with the skills who excel at basketball. We can help you get those skills. Join us at Eastside Y’s co-ed Basketball Clinic, where you can learn skills and strategy from Division 3 Athlete David Gibson. Kids will work on skills, drills, and strategy. Bring your own ball, limited balls available at the desk. Space is limited, register soon!
