Youth Basketball
Basketball was invented in 1891. While teaching at the International YMCA Training School, James Naismith was given the challenge of creating a game that could be played indoors during the cold winter months. Hanging simple peach baskets and using a soccer ball, Naismith created the game of basketball and wrote the first 13 rules of the game.
The Family Y of Greater Augusta’s Youth Basketball league is open to kids ages 2-14. Every child should participate in every game and should receive equal playing time, regardless of skill level.
Lil' Hoopers (Ages 3-4) Wilson 2027
Tiny Hoops. Big Dreams.
Lil’ Hoopers is back with a new playbook!
Our basketball league for ages 3 and 4 has a fresh format this season. First, our Little Hoopers will team up with their volunteer coach for three practices to learn the basics and build their confidence. Then it’s game time: three games against other teams, with a picture day along the way!
The season runs January 23–March 13, 2027. Games will take place on Saturdays between 9:00 a.m. and noon. Each volunteer coach will select their team’s practice day and time.
Get ready for little dribbles, big smiles, and plenty of “Did you see that?!” moments. Let’s hoop!
