Fall League - 9th-12th Grade Boys House Basketball

Games only, no practices. Games will be played on Tuesday and 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. Games 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!

*Space is limited*
Draft: No tryouts, coaches will select teams

**CONDUCT - Please make sure you, your players, and your parents respect and treat the YMCA Staff properly as well as the other participants of the league. These leagues are for fun and the last thing we want to deal with is behavior issues. If a player, parent, or coach is a problem on more than one occasion they will be asked to not return and they won't be allowed to participate in the league. No money will be refunded.
