YMCA Basketball Postseason a Success!

This past Friday and Saturday, our YMCA Basketball League players and families had two great events to participate in. On Friday, hundreds of players and their families attended YMCA Night at the Iowa Energy game! Discounted tickets and a pregame clinic for all the kids, taught by the Energy players! Then, on Saturday, over 40 teams 3rd grade and older from the Walnut Creek, Waukee and South Suburban branches participated in our annual tournaments played throughout the metro area.

There were a lot of great games and a lot of great sportsmanship moments! We celebrate sportsmanship just as much as we do the tournament winners, as we have dozens of sportsmanship plaques to award to individuals throughout the day who show exemplary sportsmanship. Kids were seen helping up their teammates and opponents, encouraging teammates who were struggling, and even admitting to the referee the ball was out of bounds off of them.

Here are the results from our Tournaments, starting with some of the Sportsmanship Award winners!
