A special league designed just for your elementary basketball player! This 6-game league will feature one practice a week (day and time based on gym availability) and one game on Saturdays. All teams are guaranteed to have at least one hour of indoor practice space per week.  No score or standings are kept facilitating a fun, non-competitive environment that uses basketball to promote health, confidence, teamwork, leadership, and integrity.
