Welcome to the 2024-25 Fall/Winter Little Pal Basketball Website 

We will be offering programs for Boys and Girls from ages 6 through 14 years old. *(If your child is 14 years old and in High School, they are not eligible to play.)* We will have multiple divisions depending on actual registrations. We will have an instructional league for 6 years old through 8 years old. We will have a Junior Division for Boys and Girls that are 9 and 10 years old and a Senior Boys and a Senior Girls division for ages 11 through 14 provided they are not in High School. If you feel your child should play up based on ability, please contact me and we can transfer to older program.
