Little Ballers is Thunder Basketball for our smallest members!

PreK/K players learn how to dribble, shoot, play on a team, and have fun!

The league focuses on letting these little ones gain experience with coordination, handling a ball, and learning the rules of the game, all while giving them the opportunity for actual play. 

YMCA Thunder League - Exclusive partner of the Oklahoma City Thunder

NEW this year - YMCA Thunder Basketball Team Store!

We are excited for the YMCA league's exclusive partnership with OKC Thunder basketball! As part of this partnership, Thunder basketball jerseys will be purchased through the online Team Store. 

Parents must purchase a new 2023 Thunder jersey online. New Thunder jerseys are required for every participant, and can be reused each year. The YMCA has secured a 5 yr contract with Thunder basketball so players can get the most out of their jersey purchases. 

Parents may choose to purchase Thunder shorts if they would like.

Thunder uniform shorts are NOT required.

*To receive your uniform in time, please order by October 27, 2023. 

**Jerseys may be swapped by YMCA staff once games start to resolve any duplicate jersey numbers.

*There will not be any exceptions or placement requests for PK-K grade teams. Siblings will be placed on the same team, and head coaches will have their children placed on their team. All other factors are not guaranteed to be accommodated. (I.E. Location, transportation, coach, etc.)
