Referees are trained in rules and regulations of basketball. The gym is maintained and kept in safe and presentable conditions. Additionally, your child will be provided with a team jersey. Every child will receive an end of the season medal. 

There are eight games scheduled at the Caine Halter Family YMCA and six games scheduled at Prisma Health and George I. Theisen family YMCAs.

Any additional jersey ordered for a participant after the initial jersey order will be a $15 fee.

We appreciate your understanding of these policies. 

We try our hardest to accommodate all requests, but the YMCA cannot guarantee any requests that are made for practice days, times, coaches, etc. 

Your child should be in an age group based on the age they will be on the day practices begin which is January 6, it is not based on the child’s age at the time of registration.

Example: If the child is 7 at the time of registration, but turns 8 before the first day of practices, the child would need to play in the 8-9 age group.
