🏀 YOUTH BASKETBALL LEAGUE SIGN-UPS ARE HERE!
We want to get more kids in our community involved in basketball, develop their skills, build confidence, make new friends, and most importantly, learn to LOVE the game!
We are putting together a youth basketball league for boys and girls in 3rd–6th grade, and we want to give every kid the opportunity to get out on the court, learn the game, and have fun!

➡ Here’s what to expect:
Grades: 3rd–6th Grade (Boys & Girls)

A Few Practices: Players will have a couple of practices before games begin to learn the fundamentals and get comfortable on the court.

3rd & 4th Grade: Players will compete against each other on four Saturdays.

5th & 6th Grade: Players will compete against each other on those same four Saturdays, along with opportunities to play against local schools.

Our biggest goal is simple: LEARNING AND FUN!

This league is NOT about winning and losing. It’s about teaching the fundamentals, encouraging teamwork, building confidence, developing a passion for basketball, and giving kids a positive experience that makes them want to keep coming back to the gym!

Whether your child has played basketball before or is just getting started, we want them to be part of it! We want to grow the game in our community and give our young athletes a great foundation to build on.

❓READY TO SIGN UP? Use the attached Google Sheet to register your child!

Let's get our kids involved, grow the game, and build a love for basketball in our community!

The Principal for the Day, Miss Claire, did a great job helping to keep the building running smoothly! She said that the best things about being a principal was getting to carry the radio! She also enjoyed handing out sweet treats and notes to 💙Pacer🧡 Staff!
