And I have not seen any "wreak" ball that has a normal clock and normal rules procedures that would require or expect good mechanics. In most games with youth basketball is not much different than the adult variety just they are with kids.

I think this is not the case in many areas. Most schools have a basketball program of some kind and that is where most kids are going to play. The days of the YMCA having an in-house team do not seem to be very common anymore.

Guess it depends on where you're at. Around here we have LOTS of non-school stuff for the kids. Most of the HS teams have "Select" teams for younger kids who will eventually end up going to that HS. There is the Oregon Prep league that plays all over the place. Lots of AAU stuff. And many of the Middle Schools do not have athletic programs so the kids play Community Ed leagues...
