6U Co-Ed Instructional League

This league is designed for both boys and girls 4-6 years old. A child’s basketball Division eligibility is determined by their age on August 1 of the current year.

This league plays on Saturday mornings at Smithfield Elementary and structured in a clinic-style format to focus upon the fundamentals of basketball (dribbling, spacing, footwork, shooting, passing & defense).  The emphasis is ALWAYS on fun & staying active!! The kids often spend about 45 minutes each Saturday morning working on drills, skill improvement as well as some of the basic rules of basketball.  Scrimmages can often be organized once the kids have grasped the basics more effectively.

[NEW for 2025-26] Our clinician will assess the kids & perhaps ask parents to switch their session time depending upon player skill level & parent desires after a few weekend sessions.

There is a coach(es) on the court for instruction and we do not keep score in this age group. This age group plays with a 27" ball and 8 foot adjustable goals.

Players may request to play with their friends if they would like to be on the same team. In the (Comments / Special Request) section of the registration page, feel free to indicate whether you prefer the 9am or 10am start time of the morning session! [NEW for 2025-26] The 9am session will be geared towards a focus on fundamentals throughout the Season while the 10am session will incorporate some scrimmages for players who have been exposed to the game before and have a slightly higher skill level. 

Details on the confirmed time for each age group will be communicated via email & may also posted across various channels (website, FB, IG) after player registration.
