The York North Basketball Association (YNBA) is a not-for-profit sports organization that is committed to providing quality programs for children and young adults of all skill levels.

The goals of the YNBA are to encourage children to develop a love of sport as a lifelong activity as well as promote and develop basketball skills and to provide a training path for those who might choose high performance competition. To accomplish these goals it is essential that we recognize and nourish "the distinct stages of physical, mental, cognitive and emotional development in child athletes." (Canadian Sport for Life - A Sport Parents Guide, 7).
