Recreational Youth Basketball
Participants will learn the fundamentals of basketball and become a team player while having fun in our recreational basketball league with the support of our volunteer coaches. Learn the game of basketball through weekly practices and games.
Divisions for Basketball
Clinics: A clinic will be held for all players on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8 at Moser School. Clinics will primarily focus on basic skills fundamentals before we kick off the season! Team coaches should plan to attend and will help coordinate skill drills and stations, with direction of the Clinic Coordinator. This is a great opportunity for coaches to pick up some new techniques and methods for running more efficient and productive practices!
Clinic times will be posted on our Youth Recreational Basketball webpage during the week of October 21st! An email will also be sent to all parents with the time for their child’s clinic.
Scrimmage: All teams will scrimmage on Saturday, December 21. This will involve a full game, but the focus will be on helping to reinforce player’s understanding of rules before entering the main season of games.
Games: Will be held Saturdays, January 4– March 1. The schedule will be on our website in December. Games canceled for inclement weather may not be made up.

Practice: Every team practices 1 hour/week. Day and time depends on team placement. Practice time slots are Monday–Friday between 5:00 and 9:00pm and will start the week of December 2.
Team Placement: Teams will be created with the help of each division’s coaches with intentions of making them as balanced as possible. To do this, we have scheduled evaluation periods for staff AND COACHES to properly evaluate each child’s skill levels. Coaches should plan to attend the evaluations! We cannot honor requests for specific coaches or teammates. There are no guarantees for teams, coaches, or practice nights. Team placement is final. Coaches will notify parents/players of team placement/practice details between November 13 and 17.
Evaluations: In an effort to make teams
as balanced as possible, we have scheduled evaluations for players based on division. Coaches should plan to attend evaluations and will work together to rate players and then take part in a draft.
