Our popular Youth Basketball Leagues (Grades 3-8) return again in 2016! Again this year, all players will receive a
unique jersey included with the cost of registration. Also returning this season is an 8 game regular season schedule
and a Picture Day with details to follow. The season kicks off with a *Mandatory* Player Evaluation day to be held

bling, and passing. There will be a limit of 10 players on each team to maximize playing time. Special requests

will select their practice location, time & day of the week based on their availability.
