Youth Basketball

Youth Basketball

Basketball was invented in 1891. While teaching at the International YMCA Training School, James Naismith was given the challenge of creating a game that could be played indoors during the cold winter months. Hanging simple peach baskets and using a soccer ball, Naismith created the game of basketball and wrote the first 13 rules of the game.

The Family Y of Greater Augusta’s Youth Basketball league is open to kids ages 2-14. Every child should participate in every game and should receive equal playing time, regardless of skill level.

The U9 Basketball League takes the next step in player development by introducing more structured team play, skill refinement, and game strategy. Designed for ages 7–8, this league encourages teamwork, communication, and confidence on the court while continuing to build strong fundamentals.

This season, we’re introducing a new draft system to help create balanced teams and an enjoyable experience for all players. Coaches may pre-select up to six players based on requests and will complete their roster through the draft process.

Players not selected from the request pool will be invited to attend an Observation Day on Monday, December 8 at 6:00 PM, where athletes will run through stations and short scrimmages while coaches take notes for the draft. Players who are selected ahead of time will be notified and are not required to attend the observation.

The season begins with practices the week of January 5 and games starting the week of January 19. Season details, including specific practice times and game schedules, will be shared following the draft. All practices and games take place at the Wilson Family YMCA.
