The Youth Center is proud to announce that the Williamstown Youth Basketball Association is now a program of the WYC. This year, the WYBA/WYC partnership will provide basketball programming out of our own WES gym for youth of all ages. Additionally, we are working in combination with our MGRHS partner, Lanesborough Youth Basketball. By combining programming, not only are we increasing numbers which will allow us to improve our offerings, but our kids will have the added benefit of socializing and making friends with the same kids they will very shortly be joining in the middle school.
This year, we are also able to offer online registration (for basketball only!) through the existing WYBA site:
