High School Basketball
Every year, the Billings Family YMCA hosts a competitive high school basketball league for boys. To keep gameplay fair and evenly matched, there are separate divisions for 9-10th and 11-12th graders. The goal of our high school basketball league is to teach teamwork, build skills, and help players stay active and healthy.
Register by Dec. 8 to avoid a $20 late fee.
Benefits of Playing in Our High School Basketball League
Competing in a high school basketball league is great for teenage boys on several different levels. By playing basketball, they'll form friendships, learn how to work with others as a team, and develop valuable physical abilities including reflexes, coordination, and endurance. In our high school basketball league, players will discover that playing their best and winning a game is great, but good sportsmanship and dedicated teamwork always matter most.
