Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Use the Register button on the Programs page to sign up for a program that fits your child's age, or email info@phillyyouthbasketball.org with questions first..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Kids and teens join a program at the Sixth Man Center on Wissahickon Avenue, such as a basketball academy, a camp, a clinic or a recreation night. Summer camps run weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm and are priced by the week, with scholarships available. The site does not describe what a first practice or rec night is like, so ask the staff before the first day.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the Programs page for the age or grade range, since each program lists its own.
  • Ask about the sliding scale before you register, because fees depend on household income.
  • The site does not name a nearby SEPTA stop, so check a transit map before you go.
  • Use the accessible spaces in the lot behind the building if you need them.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Programs are open to the public and each one has a registration path on the site, but the page does not say beginners are welcome or describe a first session..

Cost
Paid. Summer camp fees are set per week and reduced by a sliding scale based on household income. Some teen and young adult programs are free.
