Tuesdays- 12/9 and 12/16 Thursdays- 12/11 and 12/18 We will start with warm-ups and basketball terminology as well as beginner skills in listening and following physical instructions. At the Y we believe in education through play and games. We will introduce scrimmages after week 1. Player safety is our top priority.

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to get your young child(ren) involved in becoming active, making new friends, and have a blast on the court.
