Basketball

Youth basketball is a natural fit for kids with a playful, competitive spirit. Playing basketball helps kids grow stronger, improve hand-eye coordination, and build muscular endurance. As a team sport, basketball builds community and camaraderie and teaches kids how to work with others. A fast-paced, high-scoring game, basketball teaches the power of strong communication and how to seek opportunities for success—i.e., scoring and defense—at every turn.

Each team will play 8 games and participate in the City Championship Tournament.

Jerseys must have a number on the front and back.

Teams should have a home (white) jersey and an away (dark) jersey to create contrast between teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

My child does not attend a member school. Can they participate in City League?

At this time, students must attend a City League member school in order to participate. This policy is rooted in our mission: school-based sports provide the greatest impact when connected directly to a student’s school community. By participating through their own school, students gain the full benefits of the experience—strengthening school culture, improving attendance and academics, and deepening peer relationships.
