VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — The Vicksburg YMCA is gearing up for another exciting youth basketball season, with registration opening Nov. 1 for boys and girls ages 5 to 13.

The program will feature several age divisions, including co-ed teams for ages 5 and 6, boys’ divisions for ages 7–8, 9–10, and 11–13, and girls’ divisions for ages 7–9 and 10–12. All players must turn the appropriate age before Sept. 1, 2025.
