The Basketball Season - U9

U9 basketball starts the last week of September and runs thru to March depending on the availability of school gyms that we use for the program. Practices are held one night a week, based on gym allocations and coaches availability (there are no regular games at this level). The season wraps up with a U9 tournament.

Other gymnasiums and dates may be available depending on what is made available to our organization for this upcoming season.

If a player is unable to attend a game or practice, please remember to let your coach know as soon as possible.
