The Williamstown Youth Center’s in-house basketball program returns with ten weeks
of fun and excitement that will keep your child moving.
Our program emphasizes movement with lots of touches in a fun, energetic environment.
Kindergarten meets in the WYC gym for one hour every Sunday.
Grades 1-2 will meet at the WYC for two weekly one-hour sessions.
Grades 3-6 will meet primarily in the WES gym, with some additional sessions in the WYC.
Some games against Lanesborough teams will be played in the LES gym.
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.
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
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.
New this year: We are excited to announce that grades 3 &4 will play a 3 v. 3 game format. Teams of 3-5 players will practice together and play each other in twice-weekly sessions. Sessions will be scheduled at WES on either Tuesdays or Fridays, and on Saturday mornings. Additional games and practices will take place in the WYC gym, with some games played against Lanesborough teams in their gym.
