East 
Granby Parks and Recreation is excited to announce our winter basketball program. The program will begin with practices, starting the week of December 2, 2024, and games will begin in January 2025.
The East Granby Youth Basketball program is designed to provide a positive recreational basketball program for students in grades 3-8. The goals of the program are to teach the players the rules of the game, help them develop individual skills, foster teamwork, allow them to learn good sportsmanship, and to HAVE FUN! The program will give players an opportunity to play basketball with their friends and make new friends too.
Team rosters may be kept specific to each grade, or multiple grades may be combined into one team, depending on the number of registrations received.
There will be 2 practices a week and the focus will be on instruction and team building within each group. Practices will take place at the Middle School and/or the High School Gym, and will run for 1 hour in length. The day, time, and location of the practice will be determined by coach and space availability. The registration process will ask what days/times your child is not available.
Practices will be held on weekdays, beginning the week of December 2, 2024, and run through February 28, 2025. (NO PRACTICES will be held during Winter Break, or on January 20, February 17 and 18, 2025)
Games will take place on Saturdays for 8 weeks beginning in January 2025. East Granby Youth Basketball is participating in a league with teams from Granby, Suffield, Hartland and the Farmington Valley YMCA. Depending on how many teams are available to play, other towns may be added.
Games will be held on the following Saturdays:
January 4, 2025 February 1, 2025
January 11, 2025 February 8, 2025
January 18, 2025 February 15, 205
