Youth Basketball League
Youth Development
In a Team Environment
Everyone plays in Youth Basketball. This program emphasizes fair play, cooperation, sportsmanship, honesty, respect and fundamental skill development. Every practice and game is a positive development experience for each child. This program is for boys and girls, 1st to 6th grade and held at the Oval and Oak St. Y gyms where families can cheer them on as they learn to play basketball.
Games and Practice
The Plattsburgh YMCA Youth Basketball League begins the week of December 9th and runs through February 8th (No basketball during Christmas holiday week - December 23-29).
Practices and games are 1 hour for our youngest division (1st & 2nd grade) and 1 hour and 15 minutes long for our older two divisions. A schedule will be sent out once teams have been set.
During the first few weeks of the league, practices will occur on practice days (during the school week) AND on Saturdays. Games will begin during the 4th or 5th week of the season - at that time, practice will be during the week and games will be on Saturdays.
1st & 2nd Graders:
Practices: Mondays or Wednesdays 5:00-6:00 or 6:10-7:10 (Oak St. Y Gym)
Games: Saturdays between 9:00am-12:00pm (Oak St. Y Gym)
*Teams will alternate having practice on Mondays or Wednesdays each week - this allows for practice, scrimmage and games with other teams. Game times will also vary on Saturdays so teams have the opportunity to play each team in the league.
