Winter Basketball 2026 - Winter 2026

The mission of the Emmaus Youth Association's winter basketball program is to provide a fun and appropriate level of play while learning the fundamental skills of the game.  Proper sportsmanship and conduct will be stressed.  The season will begin with practices in November for competitive play and December for recreational play.  A team's practice schedule will depend on court availability, but there will typically be one to two practices per week.  Games and practices may be played both during the week and on weekends.

EYA program offerings

EYA offers a co-ed instructional program for students in Kindergarten. The program provides an instructional environment that focuses on the development of basic techniques and skills.  Scrimmages will be organized, but the emphasis will be on encouraging teamwork, fun and skill development. 

EYA offers a recreational program for students grades in 1-12.  Participants are organized into boys and girls teams by grade levels as follows: 1st & 2nd, 3rd & 4th, 5th & 6th, 7th & 8th, 9th & 10th, and 11th & 12th. Our recreational program focuses on teamwork and skill development. Playing time is more equally divided in this program than in our competitive program. The number of teams and players on a team is dependent on the number of coaches willing to coach.

EYA will also be offering a competitive (i.e. travel) program for students in grades 3-12. Our competitive program is a higher level of skill and competition than our recreational program. The focus of our competitive program is teamwork and advanced skill development. Depending on the number of players enrolled at each grade level, tryouts may be held and cuts may need to occur. If a player that is enrolled in this program is not selected for a competitive team, they do have the option of playing in our recreational league. Equal playing time is not guaranteed.  

Please reach out via email to basketball@eyasports.org with any further questions that you may have.
