Meredith Mathews East Madison YMCA

Kinders basketball is an instructional and recreational 8-class youth basketball program designed for Kindergarteners, ages 5 and 6, to have fun while learning rules and skills of the game. Kids practice the fundamentals of basketball like dribbling, shooting, passing, and in most cases, going the right way down the court through fun drills and games. The focus in this program is on inclusion, teamwork, sportsmanship, and building confidence. Kinders do not play official games or keep score; it is all about fun and learning! All teams are co-ed and led by Y staff. Practices with scrimmages are held once per week. Each player gets a Y uniform top to wear on and off the court. Volunteer age requirement: 16+ 17+, 18+, 19+, 20+, 21+
