Youth Basketball – Youth Basketball

Play Basketball the Y Way

YMCA Youth Basketball programs focus on skill growth and teamwork to build well-rounded players at all levels. Youth in basketball programs can expect to learn and grow as a group with support from coaches and peers. Basketball can offer children and teens complete physical exercise. It can build muscles, improve height, raise accuracy, and instill teamwork! Help your child make new friends by joining one of our many chances to learn basketball.

The Harrisburg Area YMCA offers a variety of basketball programs from leagues to clinics.  Whether your child is a beginner or an all-star, there are many program levels for children of all ages and abilities!
