ROSEBURG, Ore. - The YMCA of Douglas County is preparing for another season of youth basketball, with registration opening Monday, November 2, at 8 a.m. for children ages 3 through fourth grade.
The program gives young athletes an opportunity to learn basketball fundamentals, build confidence, and develop teamwork skills in a supportive environment. Children of all experience levels are welcome, whether they are picking up a basketball for the first time or returning for another season.
The upcoming season runs from January 11 through March 6, 2027, with eight weeks of practices and seven weeks of Saturday morning games. Families can choose between Monday, Wednesday, or Friday practices to better accommodate their schedules.
The YMCA will offer four divisions based on age and grade level:
- Itty Bitty: Ages 3–4
- Biddy: Ages 5–6
- Rookie: 1st–2nd grade
- Winners: 3rd–4th grade
Registration costs range from $65 to $95 for YMCA members and $85 to $115 for nonmembers, depending on the division.
The Itty Bitty division will follow a shorter schedule, with Saturday-only activities beginning January 23.
In addition to welcoming players, the YMCA is looking for volunteer coaches to help with the upcoming season. Coaches play an important role in introducing children to the game, encouraging teamwork, and helping young players develop their skills.
Registration opens November 2 at 8 a.m. through the YMCA's website at ymcaofdouglascounty.org/basketball.
