schools depending on your volunteer coach’s schedule and facility
availability. All participants receive a reversible jersey. Min/Max: 40/100.

5TH & 6TH GRADE
This league places more emphasis on the team as a whole. This is
accomplished by the introduction of set “plays” to increase the player’s
ability to adapt to game situations. Players will be asked to attend an
evaluation session and will be drafted to teams by coaches.

7TH & 8TH GRADE
These leagues focus on the basic fundamentals of basketball. Practices
and games are structured around skill development and having fun.
All games are officiated in an instructional atmosphere. Players are
placed on teams according to their schools. Player/Coach requests
are not accepted. This league takes all of the elements that have been learned and tests
all of your skills. The program starts as a review of the knowledge
and skills obtained throughout the years. Junior high athletes may
participate but must be present at both the practices and games
throughout the entire season. Players will be asked to attend an
evaluation session and will be drafted to teams by coaches. 7th/8th
Grade Girls will participate in an inter-village league and will follow a
slightly different schedule. See details in the online description.
