Middlesex YMCA Youth Super Sport Coed Basketball open enrollment has started. The season will start mid-January, with games in the YMCA gym at Hartfield and also against other surrounding Y branches.
The season runs from January 6 through February 29. Age brackets are 6-8, 9-11, and 12-15. This coed basketball league focuses on the philosophy that: “Everyone Plays, Everyone Wins.” Your child learns how to work in a team atmosphere as well as learning the basic skills of basketball, such as shooting, passing, dribbling, offensive and defensive techniques, through practice and games. Youth Super Sport coaches build on and revisit the basic skills and rules.
Some advanced concepts taught at this level are dribbling under pressure, stealing the ball, shooting from various positions, receiving and passing quickly and accurately. Good sportsmanship and character development are emphasized. Fitness concepts include fitness for the heart, lungs and muscles, as well as flexibility and healthy eating.
Adult basketball will start in February. Adult basketball is broken into two leagues based on pace and skill level. The “A” league is fast paced with highly-competitive teams that feed their need for competition through the YMCA character values. The “B” league is a slower paced, more fun-oriented league. Each league has its own rules and own style of play. Find out where you fit in with the Middlesex Family YMCA Adult Basketball Program.
