Registration is going on now for YMCA Youth Basketball, where children grades 2 through 4 can learn basic skills in a positive environment.
The YMCA emphasizes participation, fitness, teamwork, sportsmanship and having fun over winning. Basketball games are played on Saturdays, with practices on Mondays or Wednesdays. Games start Jan. 14 and run until Feb. 25.
Again this year, the league will be working with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants from the National Basketball Developmental League.
The ants will be coming to the YMCA to run a clinic where the kids will learn skills from the players themselves. All YMCA Youth Basketball players will also receive a game ticket good for any home Mad Ants game during their season, a t-shirt, basketball and award.
Register until Jan. 10, with a late fee after Dec. 31, at one of the three branches or online until Jan. 4 at www.kcymca.orgUH Call Andy Miller at 574-269-9622 for more information.
