 The Auburn-Lewiston YMCA has offered our Biddy Basketball Program for 42 years. The YMCA's co-ed basketball program serves Auburn, Lewiston, and surrounding communities by affording boys and girls in grades 2-6 an opportunity to involve themselves in an organized basketball program. The YMCA's youth basketball league for kid's in grades 2-6 is designed to instruct the basic fundamentals of basketball and to develop individual skills of dribbling, shooting, and passing, within a team atmosphere.
The league is divided into two divisions, the Pee Wee
Division and the Junior Division. Each division conducts a
clinic and draft which is used to evaluate individual talent levels in order to provide the best possible scenario for equal play among teams.
The Pee Wee division is for boys and girls in the 2nd through 4th grade. Each team has a practice a week and then plays a game every Saturday afternoon.
The Junior division is for boys and girls in the 5th through 6th grade. Each team has a practice a week and then plays a game every Saturday morning.
We also offer travel teams for players in our program. We offer a teams for 3rd and 4th grade boys, 3rd and 4th grade girls, 5th and 6th grade boys, and 5th and 6th grade girls. Players must play in our
in-house league to be eligible for our travel teams. Each team has a try out and then those children that make the team have an additional practice a week and then play games on the weekend.
The Biddy Basketball Program emphasizes the YMCA's core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. The focus of the program is to have each child gain an understanding of the game, improve skill level, learn team play, build self-esteem, show good sportsmanship, and most of all have fun!
Program runs from November through February for a 14 game schedule. Cost for the program is $35 for members and $75 for nonmembers.
Rookies : Co-Ed Grades K-1
 Our YMCA Rookies program is for children in kindergarten or the first grade who have completed an
instructional basketball program.
Rookies is designed to get these young players more experience playing a game.
The program runs for eight weeks where they play 8 games. The purpose of Rookies is to get your son or daughter to feel comfortable for when they move up to our Pee Wee Division.
The program also runs for a second session, which is 6 weeks long. During the second session, the kids only play games.
Program runs from October through December. Second session runs from January through February. Cost for the program is $30 for members and $60 for nonmembers.
Skills and Drills : Co-Ed Ages 4-6
 Our Skills and Drills program is an instructional program for girls and boys ages 4 through 6. The program is designed to focus on the introduction and development of dribbling, passing, and shooting, through games and instruction.
As the classes advance, we hope to introduce defensive concepts and team play.
The classes are broken up into age groups, 4 year olds and 5 year olds who have never played before are in session 1 and the 5 year olds who have played and the 6 year olds are in session 2.
Each class is 45 minutes and meets once a week.
Program runs for 9 weeks and goes from October through November. Cost for the program is $30 for members and $60 for
non-members.
