Youth Instructional Basketball League 

Sign Up Today!

The Cumberland YMCA’s co-ed Youth Instructional Basketball League stresses the skills and fundamentals of basketball, and actual game play. Players are  encouraged to do their best but the emphasis on winning is minimized. NO wins or losses are recorded; there are no team standings or scores kept. All players play an equal amount of time in games, regardless of their ability.

The Youth Instructional Basketball League is available to boys and girls, grades K-8.
