Welcome to AYYA Basketball 2024!

Developing basketball skills helps to make our kids better adults from the life lessons learned on the court! The strength of our organization is you, the AYYA families, who have dedicated your time and effort to our children.

The AYYA Basketball Program is co-ed, and runs from early December through the middle of March. The program is open to boys and girls, ages 5 to early teen. Our In-House Programs focus on beginner to intermediate skill levels in three different age groups: 6U, 8U, and 10U. We also offer a competitive Travel Program,

AYYA will provide uniforms (jerseys/shorts) for all players and equipment for all coaches.

in-house program

These 90-minute sessions are held on Saturday mornings/early afternoon in one of our local gyms – drills and skills during the first half, followed by a game during the second. We use 6-7-foot hoops for our 6U Program, 7.5-foot hoops for our 8U Program, and regulation 10-foot hoops for the 10U Program. At the end of the season all participants receive a trophy!

travel program

Travel Program games begin in early January and end on the final weekend of March (practices begin in mid-December). Practices and games are on weeknights (Monday - Friday) between 6:30 and 9pm. This competitive program will be joining up with the tri county basketball league for Boys & Girls, for players ages 6 to early teen, and is best suited for our intermediate to advanced skill level players.

Our programs need coaches.

Parent/Guardian volunteers are urgently needed.

The past few years have seen a very steep decline in parent involvement. This is a new issue for us. In past years, teams were created and several adults from each team eagerly came forward to coach, assist during practices, manage team communications etc.

We cannot offer programs to our children if adults do not step up to help.

Our league simply cannot survive without your help.

 

Offering to coach is easy. Simply go the registration tab of our website and register yourself as a coach. As with any organization serving children, we expect coaches will complete a background check.

 

Thinking of volunteering but have never coached before?

AYYA will support all coaches by providing the tools you will need to succeed. Our seasoned coaches are always available to help.
