Basketball 2027 Season Youth, Grades 3 & 4

Practicing of skills will be conducted on weeknights and develop into games accordingly on Saturdays. Teams will play games against each other and referees will be used.

Introducing Wednesday Night Main Event Games:
Starting this season, we will be introducing Wednesday Night Main Event Games for our basketball program. Each team in grades 3-8 will have the opportunity to play a team within their age division at Suffield Middle School on a Wednesday night in either January or February.
The goal of these special games is to give our players a fun, exciting, and professional game-day experience. The evening will include player introductions, the National Anthem, music during warmups and timeouts, and noise makers for fans in the stands. We will also encourage teams from other divisions to stay and cheer on the players during the other games throughout the evening.
Our goal is to pack the gym, create an energetic atmosphere, and make the night feel like a true Main Event for our players and families. The schedule for these games will be released sometime in December.
