The YAC Basketball Program has over 600 players participating in grades 2 through 12 in Yorktown Heights, NY.

Players are introduced to basketball through the Pee Wee Division for 2nd graders.   The players participate in a clinic like environment and scrimmage at the end of each session.

3rd and 4th graders play in the Bantam Division.  They practice one night a week and play one game a week on Saturdays.  The games are played with smaller basketballs (28.5") on regulation 10 ft. rims.    

The Junior (5th - 6th Grade) and Senior (7th - 8th Grade) Divisions are comprised of 12 to 16 teams with 10 players per team.  These divisions have player evaluations as well as a player draft that is usually conducted in late October or early November. Practices are held one weeknight each week and games are played once a week on Saturdays.  Standings are kept and there are playoffs at the end of the year.

The High School Division is for players in grades 9 through 12. There is one  game a week played on Sunday afternoon or evening and no practices.
