*Games are expected to begin Saturday, January 9th.
This is dependent upon the State and Local Government Guidance/Recommendations for clearance to play basketball games. Once games are allowed, the High School Boys will only have games & no practices. All other age groups will have 1 practice and 1 game per week.
