This league is very informal and focused on learning the game, developing beginner fundamentals and having fun. Coaches serve as referees during the games and no scores or standings are kept.

The League will run from early December through February. Practices/games are held Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.

Players will receive numbered moisture-wick jerseys. Our baskets are set at 8' and we use a youth-sized 27' (5) basketball.

This league is an introduction to competitive Basketball via instructional team practices and 5 on 5 full court play games. A strong emphasis is placed on teaching and learning basic fundamental basketball skills (dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.), basketball rules, teamwork, sportsmanship, and “having fun”.

Player evaluations will be held following registration and prior to the start of the season and are utilized by the League Coordinator to form even/balanced teams at the onset of the season in the interest of fair play. Therefore, requests for specific coaches, teams, teammates, cannot be guaranteed. All players will receive considerable playing time during games (based on the league rules each child will play a minimum of 1/2 of each game). This league will keep scores during games and use referees. The season will involve Round Robin play and a tournament at the end of the season (playoffs). The player evaluation date will be held in mid-November. All registered participants are strongly recommended to attend. Parents should make every effort to set the date aside.

Teams will meet once per week to practice on Thursdays and one game per week on Saturdays, December thru February. However, practice day is subject to change based on permit approvals and gym space availability. The league culminates in a playoff tournament and all-star game (if time permits) at the end of February or early March.
