Join us for a Special Visit from the Junior New York Knicks

For many local children, growing up at the YMCA is synonymous with basketball. The Y is where their role models teach them how to work together, build their confidence, and become future leaders.

On Saturday, June 14, those role models come with a little extra star power as the Junior New York Knicks bring their training techniques to local kids at the Berkeley Heights YMCA.

Two sessions are available that morning:

10 AM to 11 AM for ages 5 to 7

REGISTER

11:30 AM to 12:30 PM for ages 8 to 12

REGISTER

This free program is designed for kids between ages 5 and 12 of all skill levels. With help from the Junior New York Knicks, participants will not only learn how to dribble, pass, and shoot—they’ll learn how to listen, stay focused, and set goals. It’s all about practicing how to handle mistakes, try again, and support one another.

Spots are expected to fill up fast, so register your child today!

SUMMIT AREA YMCA

BERKELEY HEIGHTS YMCA | SUMMIT YMCA | THE LEARNING CIRCLE YMCA

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men’s Christian Association, but today, we are The Y; an association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.

Each year, as one of the area’s leading 501(c)3 charitable organizations, the Summit Area YMCA serves more than 15,000 individuals with our free and fee-based programs and services in an area spanning the New Jersey communities of Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Millburn, New Providence, Short Hills, Springfield, Stirling and Summit. Our history is rooted in working side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Through the generosity of our members, donors, and partners, we are able to offer financial assistance for our programs and services to those in need.

Please note that the section of Maple Street closest to the Summit YMCA will be closed from approximately 7 AM to 11 AM on Sunday, May 5, for our Mother’s Day 5K. Please use Cedar Street to access the public lot that is next to our building.
