We are now in year four of Barkhamsted Basketball and have continued to grow and learn! We look forward to another season of successful development!

We will officially begin the last week of November (older groups may have open gym time throughout November and running though the middle of March.  Registration will close the first week of November or when we have met our capacity for kids. 

We will break up into four different age groups: This is fluid, as registration numbers and skill level can dictate how we proceed. 

• K-2 Will be different stages of development with practices 1/2 days a week depending on numbers for each grade. 
• 3rd/4th Grade: Boys and Girls will be separate teams with focus on more advanced skills and growing knowledge of team sports. We will be forming teams and playing in a Northwest Corner league. This will involve travel two towns such as Litchfield, Watertown, and Shepaug. It will consist of two practices a week with games being played on Saturdays. This is a league used to develop children for the next step, which is a competitive 5th and 6th grade travel league.   
• 5th/6th Grade:  Both a Boys and Girls League. This will be a competitive Route 44 league. Team(s) will travel and play against other 5th/6th graders from towns along the Rt 44 corridor and within the Northwest Corner.   Please note, at this time we will only be having 12 children for each boy and girl Rt 44 team. As registrations are received, we will re-evaluate.

We will also evaluate every player based on skill set and age; this could involve them moving up to a higher group or spending more time with a lower group. Basketball is new to a lot of kids and we want them to succeed!

 Each child will be given a Tshirt/uniform from day one and basketballs will also be provided to each team. Please have them wear comfortable shoes and shorts, as well as bring a water bottle.
