The Sanford Pentagon serves as the home for basketball within the Sanford Sports Complex, and the facility houses two professional-sized courts along with six high school-sized courts. Basketball players of all ages will find opportunities for sport-specific training, camps and clinics, youth leagues, physical therapy, and more. The POWER Basketball Academy is the most comprehensive player development program in the area with a wide variety of basketball development options. From private workouts to team management and everything in between, our professional staff is knowledgeable, energetic, and creates a positive environment for players of all ages and skill levels to develop, learn, and enjoy the game of basketball. Simply, our goal for all players that come through our program is to leave with a greater understanding of the game of basketball, be able to perform skills at a higher level, have the tools to improve through their own practice, and love playing the game. The Sanford Pentagon offers athletes the opportunity to be part of the Pentagon Basketball Club (PBC) teams. Each PBC team will be coached by coaches who have years of basketball experience and have a shared passion for basketball. Athletes will enhance their basketball skills through competitive team practices, team drills and tournaments. This is your chance to practice and play in the nation’s premier basketball facility!

Ages Pre K (age 4) to 12th grade

Basketball Club (Pre K-9th)
This program compliments our leagues by preparing players with skills and competition. The Basketball Club makes basketball development available year round. We believe in teaching both skill development and game execution which is why we offer one or two practices a week with high level instructional games on Fridays. Younger players will have one skills practice and one game practice per week. Because our players are paired with their age and skill and coached to reach the next level - wherever that may be - the Basketball Club is for all players beginner to advanced.

Hoopsters (K-1st)
This program promises to deliver a fun introduction to the game of basketball. A special age appropriate sized basketball and lowered hoops will help to ensure every child’s success. From shooting, dribbling, and passing skills, confidence building is the key ingredient in the program. Each team of 8 - 10 players is led by an adult volunteer leader and an assistant leader. Teams are assigned by the school a child is attending; schools may have to be split or combined due to the number of players registered. Girls and boys are on separate teams.

Rookies (2nd-3rd)
Along with ball handling and shooting skills, children are ready to work on teamwork. Early in the program, skill work with dribbling and passing is stressed. Later, the idea of team play will be developed as teams participate in scrimmages. Each team of 8 - 10 players is led by an adult volunteer leader and an assistant leader. The teams are organized according to schools. Large schools may be divided up due to number of players registered and small schools mixed in with larger schools. Girls and boys are on separate teams.

YFORCE Basketball League (4th-8th)
A number of teams also have the opportunity to play a regular season league game at the Sioux Falls Arena on the Skyforce Home Court.  League Details: 4th, 5th and 6th graders will start later in October. 7th and 8th grade will start early October in order to be finished prior to school ball starting.

The YMCA does reserve the right to mix players from different schools if needed to form teams. All divisions may enter with coach rostered teams. Those that register for the recreational league that do not have a coach will be formed into teams from the same school/location when possible. Every Player will get a membership ID card good for discounts at local businesses plus free admission to the Skyforce Intra-Squad Scrimmage, Skyforce Basketball Clinic, NBA Skills Competition and coach’s clinic. Each player will get 1 free ticket to any regular season game.  All levels will have 2 paid referees and 1 paid gym supervisor. Teams will supply a score keeper or timer for each game. Teams are allowed one practice a week - locations vary. Games are played once or twice a week - locations vary - we utilize Sioux Falls public schools, Brandon public schools, Sioux Falls private schools, Harrisburg public schools, Family Wellness, YMCA and various church gyms throughout Sioux Falls.
