Grades 2 & 3 Calling all 2nd and 3rd graders interested in honing their basketball skills and experiencing friendly competition with their DC friends! Join our 3 on 3 In-house League, designed to provide a safe environment for skill development and gameplay. In these sessions, young athletes will focus on enhancing their basketball abilities, learning team concepts, and enjoying opportunities to compete in games. 3 on 3 basketball allows more ball touches and individual involvement compared to traditional 5 on 5 play, making it an ideal way for players to learn the game. This league serves as a perfect transition from the fundamentals learned in K-1 basketball to the commitment and intensity of travel basketball, which begins in 4th grade. Participants must bring their own 27.5" basketball, which can be purchased through Community Ed if needed. Parent Volunteer Refs: We're also seeking parent volunteers to serve as referees for the 3 on 3 games. Interested parents will receive training at the first practice, and depending on their involvement, a portion of their child's program fee will be refunded at the end of the season. Join us for a season of skill-building, teamwork, and fun on the court!

Grades 4-6 This competitive traveling basketball league is designed for 4th through 6th graders. The season spans from November through early March.

Coaches will organize league play and tournaments. Games will take place at various venues, and parents are responsible for transportation. Players will also get the chance to showcase their skills during the halftime of a home varsity basketball game, with players and parents receiving free admission. Prior basketball experience or knowledge is recommended for those interested in joining this competitive league. Practice Schedule:Practices begin in early November, with specific dates and times contingent upon gym availability. Practice schedules will be published on the Community Education website approximately two weeks before practices begin. Game Schedule: Games are scheduled for Saturdays starting in December, with specific dates to be determined (TBD). Additionally, some tournaments may occur on Sundays. Jersey - 4th Grade Only: If you played traveling basketball last year, please confirm if you still have your jersey and specify your jersey number.
