I moved here from out of state. I was interested in having my son who is 8 years old be apart of the youth basketball league. The cost was $60 not a lot of money but enough for me to want my son to have fun learning more about the game and not just having fun. Well, my sons coach was not a very good coach at all. The fact that she didnt know much about basketball wasnt the issue. The issue was she wasnt open to any help or advice. I was actually able to coach the first game with her and we won 24-12. The next three games she didnt want my help or any other parents help for that matter and the kids lost all 3 games with only scoring a total of 12 point for all three games. The kids learned nothing in practice. I called and spoke with the director of athletics and he did nothing. I wanted to let him know that our kids were not being prepared in practice to play against teams that were really prepared to play. The kids lost the next three games by 20 or more points and some kids lost interest and didnt want to return to the team. Long story short I will be taking my kid elsewhere for basketball. The program at Irving Y is being reorganized because it has been lacking. But they have to have better coaches who have "some" basketball knowledge and people skills. This was a waste of my familys time and money. They did have some very good coaches but my sons coach was awful. I did everything I could to get the situation fixed to give the kids on the team a real chance to compete but it was brushed off as no big deal. So with that being said explore all options before you pay your money and sign your kids up for this league. If you just want your kids to have fun and just exercise this is the place for you. But if you are looking for a little more you might want to spend the money and send your kid elsewhere. I will not be returning to be apart of Irving Ys athletic program especially the basketball program.
