Hanover Youth Basketball League is designed to introduce young (beginner) players to the sport while enhancing and fine-tuning the skills of more experienced players. Your child will learn the fundamentals of basketball with age-appropriate skills, drills, and game-play rules. Our League is set up to help build confidence and ability as the season progresses. Your player will improve their understanding of the sport, shooting, dribbling, passing, defense, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the season.
- Age-appropriate instruction emphasizes fun, skills improvement, and gameplay.
- All skill levels are welcome – boys players in 2nd-12th grade and girls players in 3rd-9th grade are evaluated and drafted in an attempt to balance each team.
- Everyone plays at least half of every game.
- No fundraisers.
- Virginia High School League (VHSL) trained officials at every game (Boys 2nd-12th Grade & Girls 3rd-9th Grade)
