Welcome to Natick Youth Basketball

NYB’s philosophy is to provide Natick children the opportunity to participate in developmental basketball programs at a young age, and more competitive programs through the middle school years. We teach the skills and knowledge of the game to support each child’s development as a basketball player, and strive to help them develop a passion for the game. NYB emphasizes our core values of teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline and integrity to aid in the children’s development as people and potentially future high school student athletes.

Travel

Travel basketball is the cornerstone program for NYB. We offer travel basketball teams for boys and girls in grades 4-8 each winter.

Skills Clinics

In skill sessions, players work kids on ball handling, shooting, passing, and general offensive / defensive footwork to bring their game to the next level.

Intramural

Intramural Basketball is an in-town basketball program. The Intramural program is open to boys and girls currently in Grades 1-8.

Hoopsters

Fun and high energy clinics designed to provide an introductory basketball experience for boys and girls in grades K-3.

Annual Turkey Shootout

Established in 1995, the Turkey Shootout is a Natick Youth Basketball tradition that brings together over 100 teams on Thanksgiving weekend for a weekend of basketball and fun. The tournament hosts boys and girls travel basketball teams in Grades 4-8 from all over the state. The Turkey Shootout is a fantastic way to kick off the travel basketball season each fall.

🏀 Week 5 Recap 🏀

Week Five was everything we love about basketball. A fun weekend on the courts across Intramural and Travel brought nonstop action, buzzer beaters, big smiles, and some truly amazing team plays.

Not every game ended in a win on the scoreboard — but every team showed heart, hustle, and growth. Effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship were on full display, and that’s what matters most.

Not all wins… but all winners in our hearts ❤️
