In collaboration with the Downtown Lincoln Association, the YMCA of Lincoln (ymcalincoln.org) is excited to announce the return of the 9th Annual Railyard Rims sponsored by SCHEELS on August 1-2. This 3-on-3 basketball tournament will once again transform the streets of the Railyard into a lively arena, where players will compete for more than just hardware.
Tournament proceeds will directly benefit the YMCA of Lincoln’s Annual Fundraising Campaign, a vital initiative that powers critical programs and activities that keep kids safe, people healthy, and families strong. In 2024, the Lincoln YMCA provided over $800,000 in financial assistance to over 1,300 families so they could experience programs ranging from basketball and preschool to swim lessons and senior activities.
The tournament promises an unmatched experience for participants and spectators alike. On Friday night, August 1, the Adult Cup will showcase teams from varying skill levels, while the Youth Cup will take center stage on Saturday, August 2, with tip off starting at 9 a.m. Each team is guaranteed four games, with a maximum of 24 teams in the Adult Cup and 32 teams in the Youth Cup.
“This event brings energy to downtown Lincoln while shining a light on the Y’s mission to strengthen our community through life-changing programs for youth, families, and seniors,” said Renee Yost, President & CEO of the Lincoln YMCA. “We’re grateful for our continued collaboration with the Downtown Lincoln Association to help make it possible.”
Team registration is now open at YMCAlincoln.org/events/railyard-rims.
