Join USN's K-6 Winter Basketball League
Preseason clinics are underway to help players prepare for the season. It's not too late to register for our K-6 Winter Basketball League, which continues through February. Registration is $75.
By Greg Anderson, Middle School Basketball Coach
USN is excited to provide a winter basketball competition for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
The Winter Basketball League serves as an opportunity for K-6 students to develop and improve their basketball skills and knowledge. Each grade has a designated block of time on Saturdays or Sundays for development and gameplay. The first 30 minutes are for skills instruction where students will learn and enhance basketball fundamentals such as shooting, dribbling, passing, and guarding; then teams compete in their games of the week.
Preseason clinics are underway to help players prepare for the season. The league continues through Sunday, February 28.
Staff, coaches, and referees for the league are USN coaches and High School basketball players. HS players have been trained, and a senior advisor is present to assist them throughout the duration of the league.
Kindergarten through third-grade teams are co-ed with a maximum of seven players and play a full-court, three-versus-three format to allow for better development. Fourth through sixth-grade players are separated by gender with a maximum of 12 players and play in the traditional full-court, five-on-five format.
League times by grade level are as follows:
