Time to Hit the Court – Basketball Classes Are in Full Swing!

Our basketball programs at the Summit YMCA and Berkeley Heights YMCA are open for registration! From Peewee to Advanced, our classes are designed to help kids develop skills, build confidence, and stay active in a supportive environment.

Here’s a quick overview of our class levels:

  • Peewee (Ages 3–5): A fun and playful introduction to basketball with basic movements, motor skills, and teamwork. Great for our youngest athletes just learning to love the game.
  • Fundamentals (Ages 6–12): Focused on core skills like dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense, these classes offer a solid foundation for beginners and those building confidence.
  • Advanced (Ages 6–14): Designed for players who have basketball experience and are ready for more structured drills, faster-paced games, and skill refinement.
  • Competitive Basketball (Ages 5–10): These sessions simulate game-like scenarios and emphasize teamwork, strategy, and real-time decision-making — ideal for kids ready for the next level.

We offer classes throughout the week at both YMCA locations. Take a look at the full schedule below and register early to guarantee your spot!
