Glencoe Youth Sports

What we’re about

Glencoe Little Dribblers focuses on player development through:

• Core basketball fundamentals
• Individual work ethic
• Teamwork and sportsmanship

We’re a parent-volunteer organization serving kids in the Glencoe community. Sessions mix fun, skill-based stations with age-appropriate game play. Drills are simple to run, so any volunteer can step in and help encourage our kids on the court.

Each week we’re supported by guest coaches from Glencoe youth competitive teams and Glencoe High School.

Who can participate

• Grades: Pre-K through 4th grade, boys and girls
• Priority: Kids living within Glencoe High School boundaries
• Enrollment: First come, first served

Capacity: We expect to support 50–70 players per grade level. Space fills quickly, so please register early.

Volunteer with us

No basketball experience required. Really. If you can high-five, smile, and keep a simple station moving, you’re qualified.

Last season’s volunteer snapshot:

• 200+ total volunteers
• 100+ youth competitive and high school helpers
• 100+ women volunteers
• 100+ first-time volunteers

We believe in positive coaching that helps kids succeed on and off the court.

Cost

We’re committed to keeping basketball affordable. The cost to play remains unchanged:

• $40 — discounted price to get your player on the court
• $75 — actual per-player program cost for GYB

Money should never keep a child from playing with us. If cost is a concern, choose the $40 option. If you’re able, paying $75 (or more) helps cover true costs and supports other families.

Donations: Contributions above $75 are treated as donations to Glencoe Youth Basketball, a parent-volunteer nonprofit.

• Tax ID: 47-4514381
