At the Y, we’re proud to be the birthplace of basketball, but did you also know...

🏀 First game: December 21, 1891
🏀 First score: 1-0 (defense wins!)
🏀 First ball: a soccer ball
🏀 First hoop: a peach basket… bottoms included!
🏀 First NBA game: November 1, 1946—NY Knickerbockers vs. Toronto Huskies

Today on we’re celebrating with Ys nationwide, our friends at NBA, WNBA, & Jr. NBA, and every kid, player, coach, and fan who knows basketball is more than a game—it’s a cultural force that builds confidence and brings communities together.

Want more Y history? We’re sharing fun facts all next year as we celebrate 175 years of the Y in the USA! https://bit.ly/3Y6FEsq

Opening day looked a lot like this:
🏀 effort
🏀 encouragement
🏀 teamwork
🏀 joy

Today we launched another basketball season, and it was everything we love about youth sports—kids learning, families cheering, coaches pouring into players, and a community showing up. Grateful for everyone who made today a win. 💙
