5-6 Grade Youth Basketball – Fall 2025
BV Rec & BVHS Boys Basketball are partnering once again to bring you the Youth Basketball League! The League is open for players in K-6th Grades. Girls & Boys will be split into volunteer-coached teams in the 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 grade divisions. The Kindergarten age group will be coed and run camp-style (practices and scrimmages during the week with no games on the weekends). Practices will be led by trained BV Rec Practice Facilitators for the Kindergarten and 1-2 grade age groups. While the 3-4 and 5-6 grade age groups’ practices will be led by the BVHS Boys Basketball coaches and players.

Game schedule and locations will be released after the season begins. All age groups will begin practice the week of Monday, October 13. All age groups will play their first games on Saturday, October 25 and final games on Saturday, December 6. Games will typically be played 4v4 on a full 2-hoop side court. Players and coaches will receive a team t-shirt, which is included in the registration fee. Players need to wear non-marking athletic shoes while on the court.
