New Britain – Berlin YMCA

Fall Basketball Training and League

The YMCA Basketball Training League is a unique 6-week program designed to help players develop their basketball skills and apply them in a game setting. During the first two weeks, participants will focus on skill development through structured training sessions that emphasize ball handling, shooting, passing, defense, footwork, and basketball IQ. In the final four weeks, players will be placed on teams and compete in organized games, giving them the opportunity to apply the skills and concepts they learned during training. This program provides the perfect balance of instruction and competition while promoting teamwork, confidence, sportsmanship, and overall player development.
