Micro Basketball League

League Description

Micro Basketball is a great way to introduce your 1st grader to the sport of basketball. With coaches focusing on low pressure development during a seven-week season, players will participate in 25-minute practices followed by 24-minute games each week. The players will play 5 vs. 5 and rules will be modified. Teams are formed based on school, and grade.
