This spring, the gymnasiums at Shiwi Ts’ana Elementary School, Zuni Middle School and Zuni High School filled with the sounds of bouncing basketballs, squeaking shoes and cheering families as young players built skills and confidence through the Zuni Youth Enrichment Project’s 2026 Basketball League. Running from March to mid-May, the league served 172 children ages 6-12.ZYEP’s annual basketball league remains one of its most popular youth programs. Beyond basketball fundamentals, the league emphasizes teamwork, mentorship, confidence-building and healthy habits — and this year marked the first time ZYEP opened the league to 6-year-old participants, introducing many children to organized basketball for the first time. Learn more about this year's league, and what the coaches and parents had to say about it! www.zyep.org/zuni-youth-enrichment-project-wraps-up-2026-basketball-league-for-172-zuni-children/
