Youth Basketball at the YMCA, in partnership with Rise Hoops, gives young athletes access to experienced coaching and focused training to take their game further. Led by Todd Wolfe, who built successful basketball programs in Naperville, the program helps players strengthen their fundamentals, improve their basketball IQ and become more confident, capable teammates.

Each week, players participate in one hour of skills training and one hour of game play, pairing hands-on instruction with opportunities to apply what they learn on the court. Coaches challenge athletes to develop ball handling, shooting, passing and decision-making while emphasizing teamwork, discipline and consistent effort.

Open to players of all skill levels who are eager to learn and committed to improving, the program offers a perfect mix of challenge for players and balance for families—purposeful training that keeps basketball local, manageable and fun.
