World Basketball Day, 21 December 🏀

Basketball began at the YMCA. One gym, a peach basket, and Dr James Naismith in 1891. From there to everywhere. 🌍🌎🌏

How is your YMCA celebrating?

🏀 World Basketball Day is 21 December.

As the birthplace of basketball, the YMCA is celebrating with events that get people moving and bring communities together. A few examples from the USA include free basketball at the YMCA of South Alabama Inc and Open Gym at Woodson YMCA.

As we celebrate 175 years of strengthening communities, we are thrilled to announce that we are coming together with the NBA for what we can only describe as a "nothing but net" partnership!

We invented basketball and they gave us the legends that have, and continue to make, the game what it is today. Together we'll be bringing a love of basketball to youth across the country and showing them that sports can be a pathway to a great future and brighter world.

YMCA National General Secretaries met online today for the 5th and final time this year.

- We bade farewell to Robert Feith at YMCA Nederland and Alina Pop at YMCA Romania.
- We heard updates on our Movement-wide Learning, Innovation & Impact work from Denise Hatton at YMCA England & Wales
- And on the 21st YMCA World Council (Toronto, July 2026) from Kerry Reilly of World YMCA and YMCA Scotland. With the Early Bird price deadline approaching on 19 December, we have over 1000 registrations.

The group also heard from Angela F Williams, President and CEO at United Way Worldwide.

"Nothing is as complex as a federated model," she joked, "except perhaps a federated global model! And that’s what you have. Good governance sets you up for success, but the essence of good leadership is saying and sticking to a vision, like your YMCA Vision 2030, your North Star".

It was real fun on Thursday 20th November 2025 at the Climate Games Program held at the YMCA centre Ibadan.

2 strong members of the Oyo State House of Assembly (Hon. Babalola and Hon. Oluwafowokanmi), the Special Adviser to the Governor of Oyo State on Political Matters and 134 young people from secondary schools/youth organizations in Oyo State participated.

It was highly successful with more rooms for the YMCA to interact and engage government officials on matters relating to Climate and other issues affecting young people.
