Basketball Programs

Got game?

Hit the hardwood with the folks who invented the game - the Y!


No one tops our legacy.

Did you know that Basketball was invented by the Y in 1891 at the International YMCA Training School? Dr. 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 Skaneateles Y offers youth basketball clinics and leagues throughout the year.
