3^rd/4^th Grade In-town

• The 3^rd/4^th season will kick off on Saturday, November 18^th with a one-hour assessment for 3^rd graders:
  • 3^rd grade boys assessments begin at 8:15 am at Chenery Upper Elementary. Please arrive between 8:00 and 8:10 am to check-in and get a pinny. The boys assessment will conclude at 9:15 am.

  • Kids should bring water and a ball (optional) to the assessment.
• 4^th graders: No basketball on Sat 11/18…enjoy the weekend!
• Following assessments, we will assign 3^rd graders to a team and communicate team assignments by Tuesday, November 21^st.  
• On Saturday, November 26^th, teams will play informal scrimmages during their assigned time. These will be actual games but will not count toward season standings. We are aware some families will be away for the Thanksgiving weekend.
  • Please note: we may move players around with the first couple of weeks if team looks particularly out of balance in either direction (overly skilled or underskilled)
• Schedule – the schedule will be posted at the same time teams are announced for the first 2 Saturday’s (Sat 11/26 and Sat 12/2).  We will have the full season’s schedule posted by early September.  All games take place on Saturday mornings or early afternoons and will be held at Chenery Upper Elementary.  All teams will have a formal 25 minute practice before each game.
• IMPORTANT - We are in significant need of additional coaches for both Girls 3^rd/4^th and Boys 3^rd/4^th teams. If you are able to and willing to coach a team, please register HERE. No basketball experience required – just positive energy and a love for kids!

• We are finalizing In-town teams and will be sending around team assignments shortly. We do our best to balance teams, acknowledging it’s impossible to do so perfectly.
  • Please note: we may move players around with the first couple of weeks if team looks particularly out of balance in either direction (overly skilled or underskilled)
