Description At the Y, our youth BASKETBALL LEAGUE HELPS 11 TO 14 YEAR
OLDS DEVELOP FUNDAMENTAL BASKETBALL SKILLS WHILE TEACHING TEAMWORK,
strategy, and sportsmanship. Skills taught include passing, shooting,
dribbling, and the rules of the game. The focus of our youth
BASKETBALL LEAGUES IS TO HAVE FUN, meet new friends, and play in a
hybrid recreational-competitive environment. The Fall 2023 BASKETBALL
LEAGUE WILL BE A 8-week season. Practices will be held on Thursdays
nights at 8:00-9:00 pm Games will be held on Saturdays. Your team's
game will begin at either 12:00 or 1:00 pm Location: PALM HARBOR YMCA
Field House What Do I Need: Please have your child wear athletic
clothes and closed toe shoes. You should also have them bring a water
bottle and a BASKETBALL TO USE DURING PRACTICE. Please clearly label
all items you send with your child. Spectators should bring a chair to
use when watching the games or practices. Please do not bring food
into the gym, and all liquids should be in a bottle that has a secure
cap and seal. Volunteer Opportunities: YMCA Sports are based on seven
guiding principles: everyone plays, safety first, fair play, positive
competition, sports for all, sports for fun, and family involvement.
Our LEAGUES ARE SUPPORTED BY PARENT VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE ENGAGED AS
COACHES, referees, and fans. If you are interested in being a
volunteer this season, please contact Kimberly Guterman at
kguterman@suncoastymca.org. There is also an area for you to indicate
your volunteer interest when you are registering your child. Parent
Communication: All notifications will be done using the email address
that you have on file. If you are not sure which email address is on
file, please contact us to verify or update your contact information.
Team Sideline is the application we use to organize sporting events
and get information to parents. This is where practice times,
location, game schedule, and necessary information will be posted. You
can choose to access Team Sideline by app or by website, and all
communication from the Sports Administration Team will be sent to the
email address you provided during registration. Special Requests:
Coaches: We appreciate our volunteer coaches and recognize that you
may have a coach that your child has previously played with during a
prior season. We are unable to allow requests or pairings with a
specific coach, and expect players to participate in this league to
learn sportsmanship and have an enjoyable experience, regardless of
the volunteer coach that they are placed with. Friends: We understand
that playing sports with friends can make the experience more
enjoyable, however we want each parent to encourage their child to
view their team placement with an open mind. We are unable to
accommodate requests. Please help them see this as an opportunity for
them to get to meet new players and make new friends. For more
information, please call our branch at 727-787-9622. Age Category
