The Oxford Park Commission sponsors a youth basketball program for kids age 5 – 15. All youth basketball leagues are co-ed. Participants must turn at least 5 years of age on or before December 31st of the current year.
Ages are broken down into the following leagues:
5-6
This league is an instructional league for young players. Games are played on a half court and with 4 players from each team on the court. This provides for greater instruction from coaches and officials.
7-8
This league is an introductory level league designed to teach the very basic fundamentals of youth basketball. This league is a slow break league with 5 on 5 format.
9-10
The 9-10 league is a follow up to 7-8. However, this league is designed to incorporate fast break basketball. The first three quarters are played at slow break pace while the fourth quarter is fast break. Teams are drafted based on coaches' ratings during an observation clinic and the number of points the player had the previous year.
11-12
This league plays by high school basketball rules and the action is very fast and intense. Teams are drafted based on coaches' ratings during an
observation clinic and the number of points the player had the previous
year.
13-15
13-15 is the oldest league offered by OPC. Teams are drafted based on coaches' ratings during an
observation clinic and the number of points the player had the previous
year.
All games for youth basketball will be played at the OPC Activity Center. Games are generally played Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings.
