Smyrna Junior Basketball League

***SJBL Family***

We strongly encourage all players who have not yet been sized to attend one of our two additional uniform fitting sessions this weekend. Sizing is significantly different from previous seasons, so it's important that every player is fitted before uniforms are ordered.
This includes:

Returning players staying with the same team
Players who missed assessments
Players who attended assessments but did not complete uniform sizing
Please do not rely on last season's uniform size when selecting this year's size.

Uniform Sizing Dates
📅 Friday, October 23
🕠 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

📅 Saturday, October 24
🕙 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

📍 Location:
True Vine Free Will Baptist Church
530 Carter Lane
Smyrna, TN

Sizing is quick and easy! Taking just a few minutes to get fitted will help ensure your child is comfortable, confident, and looking their best on the court this season.

Thank you for helping us get everyone ready for a great season!

We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden passing of Nate McDowell! Nate was a young man who spent several years growing, competing, and shining within the SJBL family. Nate wasn’t just a player — he was a teammate, a friend, and a bright presence on and off the court. His dedication, his spirit, and the joy he brought to the game will always be remembered by everyone who had the privilege of coaching him, playing beside him, or cheering him on.

As we grieve this loss, we also celebrate the memories, the moments, and the legacy he leaves behind in our community.

To Nate’s family, friends, and loved ones, SJBL stands with you. We share in your sorrow, and we lift you up with love, support, and gratitude for the years we were blessed to have Nate on our courts and in our lives. Our prayers to all of you!

RIP To One Of My Former Players Nate McDowell. I Coached Him 4 Seasons On My Grizzlies. Nate Was A Great Kid. Glad To Have Got The Chance To Have Him With Me-Mad Skillz AAU
