Little Tykes Sports at the Fremont Family YMCA is returning this Summer for a beginner's dive into Basketball and Tee-Ball! Little Tykes is designed to introduce sports to the ages 3-5 by teaching them the fundamental skills of the sports played each season. This is a perfect opportunity to discover what sports kids love and want to continue in the future, as well as teach sportsmanship, teamwork, and independence.

Calendar: June 17th - July 22nd

• Basketball Section: June 17, 24 & July 1
• Tee-Ball Section: July 8, 15, 22
  • Families are encouraged to bring their own kid's tee-ball glove, but the Y will provide a limited number of gloves for those without! Please inquire before start of session if your child will need a glove reserved for them.

Our Little Dribblers Basketball program provides children with a thorough introduction to basketball fundamentals through engaging, age-appropriate activities designed to build coordination, confidence, and basic skills. In this supportive environment, young athletes will learn dribbling, passing, and shooting techniques while developing teamwork values and a love for the game that will last far beyond our 6-week session.

Sessions will be equal parts lessons and scrimmages.
