Pre K-4 Recreational Winter Programs

2024-2025 Simsbury Youth Basketball Programs

PRE-K Program - our pre-k program is 8 weeks long and is designed to start teaching some basketball basics, but mostly to HAVE FUN!  We limit each session to 20 kids and will have 7-8 baskets available for maximum repetitions.  We use junior size balls and youth hoops at this age to encourage success for each player.  Each day mixes in some light skill work with some fun basketball games like red light/green light, hungry hippos, and more!

K Program - our K program is 10 weeks long and is played on a mix of 7 and 8 foot hoops.  The program is designed to begin teaching the fundamentals of basketball (proper ball handling, shooting, foot work techniques) - with lots of fun games mixed in!  2 on 2 and 3 on 3 with a 'coach passer' will be integrated in to the second half of the program - but this program is NOT a competitive live play league.

1/2 Programs - our 1st and 2nd grade programs are 10 weeks long and are played on either 8 or 9 foot hoops.  The programs are designed for 30-45 minutes of development and skill work and 30 minutes of competitive 3 on 3 live play.  Players will be put onto 3 v 3 teams and will compete in 3 v 3 games each session.

3/4 Programs - our 3/4 programs are designed to begin 5 on 5 (or 4 on 4 depending on numbers) full court play.  Players will be put on to teams of 8-10 players and will play full court games each Saturday.  1 weeknight practice TBD.
