Our Youth Basketball League is created for boys and girls entering 1st-8th grades. This League is designed for participants to learn and utilize the fundamental skills of basketball in game situations. Each team will be led by a volunteer coach, who will provide instruction on basic basketball fundamentals while creating a fun and positive teaching environment. In addition to the focus on basketball skills development, our program offers children the opportunity to interact with both peers and coaches, learn good sportsmanship, and how to work as part of a team. Please bring a basketball to each practice. Each player will receive a jersey.
Please Note: Player requests (aside from siblings) will NOT be honored. Grades 1st-2nd and 3rd-4th will have no scorekeeping or playoffs. Grades 5th-6th and 7th-8th will keep score and will have playoffs. All grade levels will prioritize player/skill development over winning games in this league.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: November 6th (based on availability) - NO refunds will be given after the registration deadline.
A $15 late fee will be charged if registered after November 6th (based on availability).
Games will begin on Saturday, January 16. Game locations will vary and will be noted on the schedule that will be available in early January. Please note: No basketball practice will be held over the holiday break and if the school district deems it necessary. NO GAMES FOR 1ST-4TH DIVISION ON SATURDAY, MARCH 6TH.
