Youth Basketball emphasizes learning fundamentals, enhancing current skills, developing good sportsmanship, and having fun! 
The Winter Boys and Fall Girls teams are for players in 2nd through 5th grade. Teams practice twice a week and play one or two games on Saturdays.
Our Itty Bitty Ballers is for players in Kindergarten and 1st grade. These teams are offered spring and fall and have all their practices and games on Saturdays.
