Youth Basketball at the YMCA of Central Virginia

Youth basketball at the YMCA of Central Virginia is designed to keep kids active while fostering healthy habits and building essential life skills. Our YMCA youth basketball programs provide a supportive environment where young players can learn the fundamentals of the game, develop teamwork, and grow in confidence.

Whether your child is picking up a basketball for the first time or refining their skills on the court, our YMCA basketball program’s focus remains on individual growth, sportsmanship, and fun. Through structured practices and friendly games, participants gain experience in communication, discipline, and perseverance—all while enjoying the excitement of basketball in a non-competitive, encouraging setting.
