Join the YMCA between March 16-31 and take advantage of an exclusive offer of $0 join fee and up to $18.91 off your March membership rate, commemorating the year basketball was invented at the YMCA! In 1891, Dr. James Naismith, a physical education instructor at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, created basketball as a way to keep his students active during the winter months. What began as a simple game with a soccer ball and two peach baskets quickly grew into one of the most popular sports worldwide. This $18.91 discount honors the pivotal moment in sports history when basketball was created, while celebrating March Madness all month long.

BASKETBALL AT THE YMCA

Shoot hoops where the game was invented! Each of our main branches (Cleveland, Hamilton, North River and Downtown) feature basketball gyms and open play times. Check out our Open Gym Schedule for more information. Plus, don't miss Adaptive Basketball at the Downtown Family YMCA.
