Youth Basketball Leagues

2019-2020 Youth Basketball League Information will be posted in the Frankfort Park District Fall 2019 Brochure

The Youth Basketball League is for boys and girls entering 1^st – 8^th grades. The league is designed for participants to utilize fundamental skills of basketball in game situations. A volunteer head coach, who will provide instruction on basketball fundamentals, in a positive and fun environment, will direct each team. The head coach, staff, and referees will be reinforcing the skills that have been taught or are being developed during practice. In addition to the focus on basketball skills, the program offers children the opportunity to interact with both peers and coaches, learn good sportsmanship and how to work as part of a team.

Players will have one practice and one game per week. All 1^st and 2^ndgrade practices will be held on Thursdays at 4:30 pm, 5:30 pm, 6:30 pm or 7:30 pm 3^rd – 8^th grade practices will be held on Tuesday at 5:30 pm, 6:30 pm, 7:30 pm or 8:30 pm. Games will be held on Saturdays. The locations of these events will take place at Hickory Creek Jr. High, Chelsea Intermediate School, Grand Prairie School, and Founders Community Center.
