FAQs

How are the coaches picked?

All of our coaches are volunteers. Some of them are Y staff, some are parents helping coach their kids, while others are folks from the community who share the same Y values. ALL of our coaches go through a background check. Your child’s safety is our #1 priority.

How often is practice?

Our teams practice once a week. We know your life is busy so most of those practices will last around 1 hour. We want to honor your time so we provide resources to the coaches to help make your season the best it can be.

Can I stay and watch practice?

Absolutely! We encourage it! For players with siblings, we have our onsite childcare open during most practice and game times, so while one child is participating in Youth Basketball, the other(s) can be in YKids. For more information contact YKids at 415-447-9650.

What equipment will my child need?

Water, gym shoes, and a smile ?
