BASKETBALL PROGRAMS FOR AGES 6-15, BOYS & GIRLS TEAMS
When you join a YMCA Basketball Progam you are saying that you believe the game is about participation, sportsmanship, character development, non-violent conflict resolution and healthy habits that build real sport heroes. In 2008 the YMCA helped over 7 million children learn about sports and sportsmanship, supported by this code.

Y-VARSITY PROGRAM
The Y-Varsity Program (ages 6-15 for boys and 8 and up for girls) practices once a week with a running clock game each Saturday at the YMCA gym. The Varsity program offers a first introduction in playing the game, as well as coaching opportunities for youth ages 14 and up. Varsity teams have "placement days" where all players (registered by deadline) are guaranteed to be placed on a team. Each team has all ability level of players on them. There are three seasons each year, spring (Jan - Apr), summer (May - Aug) and fall (Sept - Dec). All girls teams are formed if there are enough signups.

Y-PANTHERS PROGRAM
Y-Panthers basketball is for advanced skill players as we play other city club teams. Panthers have "try-out" days and those not selected for team are placed in the Recreational Varsity Program. Try-outs are held each October.

Skill challenging Panthers program is for boys ages 13-14. Panthers practice twice a week (November/ December) and play games January through the 2nd weekend in March (12-14 game schedule) at various local Middle and High School gyms. Coaches need an ability to coach all aspects of the game.

Coaches are needed in each program. Contact Associate Program Director Saleh Saleh at (818) 240-4130 (Ext. 20) for details.
