Local Youth Teams

Our local teams practice 2 times a week throughout the Fall, Winter, and Spring months at Rye Country Day School.

The goal for all our local teams is to see progress over the course of the season. We aim to give each player the best basketball education in a positive environment so that they can grow both on and off the court.

By being a part of one of our teams, you will be able to train 5 days a week. For any night you do not have a scheduled team practice, you will be able to attend a skills session included in your team fee. All skills sessions will take place at our home gym in Yonkers!

The length of each season lasts about 2.5-3 months.

Teams begin in 3rd grade and end in 11th grade.

Summer League Teams

Each summer we provide summer league teams that practice out of Rye Country Day School and play games in Westchester County.

Summer seasons are much lighter than our other three seasons. We typically run 1 practice a week and play 1 game a week. Emphasis for summer league is for players to explore new moves and decisions in a much more relaxed environment.

Winter Season Details:

Our teams will be competing in Zero Gravity, MADE Hoops, and other local leagues.

We will only be holding a maximum of 9 players a roster. We want to ensure playing time for all our players in order to give them the best chance at development. We will only have 2 teams per grade at a maximum.

All games will be played on Saturdays only. Each team will play two games on Saturdays.

Teams will practice two days during the week. These practices focus on team concepts solely.

On Sundays, we will have a 1.5 hour training that focuses on individual development. Each Sunday you can expect to work on your agility, footwork, ball handling, finishing and shooting.

Altogether that is 4 days a week of basketball throughout the winter season.
