3rd Grade House

The 3rd grade house league is designed to introduce the kids to the game of basketball, with an emphasis on teaching fundamental skills and team play. Having fun and exhibiting good sportsmanship are always the priorities. Kids entering the 3rd grade House program come to the league with various levels of experience.
