About the Leagues

Mini Basketball (Pre-school) League emphasizes participation, fun, and fair play. Coaches will teach the fundamentals of dribbling, passing, and shooting and introduce team concepts and positive competition. Mini basketballs are used with a 6ft hoop. Coaches are allowed on the court. 

Biddy Basketball (Kindergarten & 1st Grade) League focuses on the fundamentals while introducing and enforcing the rules of basketball from an instructional standpoint to provide an understanding of how the game is played (i.e. traveling, stealing, proper defense). Rule violations will be addressed for coaching points and play is then resumed. Children will use 27.5 basketballs and the hoop is 8ft. Coaches are allowed on the court. 

Rookie Basketball (2nd & 3rd Grade) League continues to focus on the fundamentals while enforcing the rules of basketball from an instructional standpoint to provide an understanding of how the game is played (i.e. traveling, stealing, proper defense). Rule violations will be addressed for coaching points and play will then resume. Here, rule violations may also result in a turnover. 28.5 basketballs are used, and play is on 9ft hoops. Coaches are allowed on the court. 

Collegiate Basketball (4th - 6th Grade) League continues to work on the fundamentals of basketball while implementing set plays and movements.
