JR. Herd Program with the Oshkosh YMCA

Each season the Wisconsin Herd partners with the Oshkosh YMCA to create a youth basketball program to inspire young kids to play basketball.

The program is inclusive of a youth basketball league, coaches clinic and youth clinic.

The basketball league runs from early January to late February for kids ages 4K - 8th grade. All participants receive a Wisconsin Herd reversible youth jersey and a ticket to a Herd game.

All volunteer coaches of the league receive a Wisconsin Herd shirt.

Herd coaches, staff, and mascot are involved to reinforce excitement for basketball.

Registration can be found online at the Oshkosh YMCA Website: https://www.oshkoshymca.org/

“The Oshkosh Community YMCA is proud to partner with the Wisconsin Herd for our Youth Basketball Program. This program serves kids 4K - 8th grade providing fundamental skill development, team building, physical activity, and creating/building relationships. This partnership has created a renewed interest in youth basketball, especially at the recreational level. Our participants have enjoyed being involved with the Wisconsin Herd by attending games and participating in on-court activities. The Oshkosh Y and Wisconsin Herd have a shared interest in promoting youth sports because we understand that participation in youth sports can lead to immediate and long-term benefits for youth, their families, and our community in mental, emotional, social, and physical health.” – Angie Flanigan, YMCA Branch Executive
