Youth Sports

At the YMCA, playing sports is about learning fundamentals, building confidence, and making new friends.  Your child will learn technique and skills, but just as importantly, they will also learn teamwork and sportsmanship.  As part of the Y’s mission to build healthy families, active Joplin Family Y “Family Memberships” get special pricing for any sport.  Join our community today and understand why your membership means more at the Joplin Family Y!

Jr. NBA BASKETBALL  LEAGUES

Find your shot.  Find your Y.  Did you know basketball was invented at the Y?  For more than 130 years, the Y has been the place for sneaker squeaks, bounce passes, and crisp swishes.  Develop your game at the home of hoops!

Youth Leagues are held each Winter with registrations starting mid-December.
