Who should be on the court with your player this season?

Whenever registration numbers allow, IYAA places elementary players on teams representing their schools.

A personal invitation to a friend or classmate can help another child discover basketball - and may help your school have enough registered players to form a team.

Please invite one family today. Share this post or send them the registration link:

One of the questions families ask most often is: When will games and practices be held?

Games are played on Saturdays. Exact game times cannot be determined until registration closes and IYAA knows how many teams will participate.

Practices usually begin in December. Each coach selects practice nights and an available school gym, so practice schedules vary by team. Games begin in January.
