Basketball Divisions

K-2 Co-ed Development Program

Children in kindergarten through 2nd grade play in groups by grade. 1st and 2nd grades play twice a week and kindergarten plays once a week on Sundays. Fun, sportsmanship, fundamental movement, and gross motor skills are emphasized. Sessions run from late November through February. There are no evaluations or formal games for this division. Players develop their basketball skills using age-appropriate basketballs with hoops set at heights recommended by USA Basketball.

2022-23 Schedule

December 4-February 12
Tuesday: 2nd grade at 5:30pm 

Thursday: 1st grade at 5:30pm
Sunday: Kindergarten at noon, 1st grade at 1pm, and 2nd grade at 2pm

Coaches Needed

Assistant coaches are needed for all grades at this level. No coaching or basketball experience is required. The more volunteers we have, the more the players move with the basketball and have the greatest opportunity to work on their individual ball-handling. Kids at this age love to see their parents on the court with them! If you are interested in helping out during your child’s session, please call our office at 413.458.5925 or email Julia at julia@williamstownyouthcenter.org.
