Basketball League

Youth Basketball will run for 7 weeks with an emphasis on fundamentals through drills, competitions, scrimmages and games! As well as fair play, sportsmanship & FUN! It is designed to improve play through inclusive team concept drills and practices led by volunteer coaches. We have divisions for 3-year-olds through 5th grade. Pre-K and K division games are play on Friday nights and 1st - 5th grade play on Saturday mornings.

Basketball Clinic

Basketball clinics are focused on shooting, dribbling and passing. Clinics will include small games, contests, competitions and scrimmages appropriate for age and ability. Limited capacity available! We will close registration once we are at capacity for each group.
