Designed especially for young players, this league is a fun introduction to the game of basketball! The first half of each session is dedicated to drills and fun skill-building games, helping players learn fundamentals like dribbling, passing, and shooting. The second half is game time, where kids get to put their skills into action in real 4v4 or 5v5 games. All players receive a team jersey. Lead coaches will guide the program, and parent volunteers are encouraged to help during drills and games. Space is limited, so register early to reserve your spot!

HV United Basketball League is an in-house league that provides the opportunity for students to learn and play basketball in a recreational setting. Our program focuses on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship and FUN! This recreational program utilizes volunteers for coaching (this volunteer will likely be a parent). ~Practices scheduled to start the week of Jan. 5. Each team will be assigned 1 guaranteed practice and some teams may choose to add a 2nd practice M-F for 60-75 minute increments at various HVS schools ~Games will be played on Saturdays starting January 17 and we will aim to end by Feb 28 (to avoid conflicts with spring sports schedules, as long as we don't have any weather cancellations). We strive to create an environment where players will experience equal playing time or as close to equal as possible. If teams are more or less than 10 players, that is not always possible, but over the course of the season the playing time should be equal or close to equal. The games are listed on the schedule, but the times won't be known until late December. Games could be anytime between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. (depending on the size of the division). There will no games on Feb. 14 (due to HVS winter break).

Join us for this league for 6th-8th graders to play for their school. This is for players who did not make the middle school team this winter OR chose not to try out. This will allow these girls a chance to still play for their school, but in an intramural setting. We will allow 1 non-HVS team to join as well so we have an even 4 teams for games. Each team will consist of 10-12 players from their school. Registration will close Wed, Jan 14, by then everyone should know if your child made the middle school team or not. Registration fees will not be collected until Fri., Jan 9, that way if you register now and your child makes the team, you do not have to pay the fee until tryouts are completed. We would like to secure 2 coaches per team and in lieu of paying the coaches, we will waive the entire registration fee for each coach for their time. If you are interested in being a coach for one of these teams, please respond accordingly during registration. If we are able to secure a non-parent coach, we will compensate them for their time. Scholarships are available, as needed as well. Please contact us at Shannon.Loso@hvs.org for those details. Practices will be Mon, Tues, and or Wed from 6-7:30 p.m. or 7:30-9 p.m. at your home school (if possible) and games will be on Thursday nights at one of the HVS middle schools. The season will run January-February; congruent to the Middle School Girls Basketball season.

Ball Handling • Dribbling • Shooting • Defense Introduce your young athlete to the game of basketball in a fun, positive, and structured environment. This 1-hour session will be split between skill development and live scrimmage play, giving players the chance to learn and apply their skills. Athletes will work on ball control, dribbling, shooting form, and defensive movement through engaging drills and games that build coordination, confidence, and game awareness. The session will conclude with a scrimmage to reinforce skills and encourage teamwork. • 3rd–5th grade players may have the opportunity to play outside, weather permitting. • K–2nd grade players will remain in the gym, as outdoor hoops are too tall. Please bring: a basketball, water bottle, and athletic clothing.
