Fall League - 9th-12th Grade Boys House Basketball
Games only, no practices. Games will be played on Thursday nights at the YMCA. A pre-season draft will determine the teams. Connecticut High School rules will be enforced with a few Darien YMCA modifications. Game are played 4 vs. 4 (smaller rosters means more playing time and more touches for each player). Each player will receive a Darien YMCA Basketball t-shirt. Season will end with a single elimination tournament. Low time commitment if you have other fall activities. Great way to get ready for the winter season whether you play house league or for DHS!
