SYA House Basketball is a recreational league open to boys and girls in grades K through 12.
Our grades K-1 program focuses on the four primary skill sets of dribbling, passing, shooting and defense and there are no games, only one hour per week sessions. The K-1 program is limited to the first 80 players.
Our grades 2-3 program focuses on fundamentals and skills development with 4v4 competition. 4v4 enables kids to get more action on and off the basketball. Teams are formed to create balanced competition, and all participants are encouraged to learn in a fun and supportive environment.
Our grades 4-12 program focuses on skill development, teamwork, and a higher level of competition through full court 5v5 play. Teams are formed to create balanced competition, and all participants are encouraged to learn in a fun and supportive environment.
