A great introduction to basketball and a fun activity for kids of all sizes and abilities, we modify the rules of the game to maximize success and growth. The basket height is lowered to 8-1/2′ and we restrict defenses to man-to-man and no back-court guarding. Each team will play eight regular season games. Each player receives a jersey.

Games are played 3v3 on a modified full court.  For any of you familiar with our Kindergarten micro-soccer program, this is a similar concept to that format.

High School Basketball

The Kidsports Development and Competitive High School Basketball program is designed for young adults not on a high school interscholastic basketball team. The purpose of this program is to provide both a developmental and competitive league for young adults wishing to play Basketball. Games run January – March. Open to any boy or girl attending high school in the Eugene/Springfield/Pleasant Hill area. All teams play eight games. Each player will receive a jersey.

Players register individually with KIDSPORTS and can either specify a particular coach/ team to be placed with OR they can register individually without a coach/team and we will create teams by HS area and work to find coaches for those teams.

Coach of a high school team must be 21 years of age or older. The coach must register as a coach and complete all KIDSPORTS Coach Certification requirements. (see coach to do list) Coaches must commit to attending ALL league games scheduled for your team. You may recruit as well an assistant coach (21 years or older) to attend league games that the Head Coach cannot attend. A registered coach must be present on the bench for ALL games.

Register individually and KIDSPORTS will find a team and coach for you, or you can let us know that you have a group of friends that you want placed on the same team together.

All registrants will be asked to sign a player code of conduct prior to their first league game

KIDSPORTS will issue all registered individuals on a team a uniform shirt of which MUST be worn as is and unaltered for all games. If you do not have the issued KIDSPORTS uniform, you will not play.
