The YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne and the Fort Wayne Mad Ants are excited to join forces and enhance the area Y-ball program.

This unique youth basketball league cultivates player development through practice and game play during a 9-week session.

Each child receives a T-shirt, a free ticket to a Mad Ants game of his/her choice, and admission to the Mad Ants player clinic, led by the Mad Ants coaches and players.

Registration is now through Dec. 17. The season starts Jan. 9, 2010.
