Information About Our Intramural Teams: 

The intramural season runs from December through mid-March (weather permitting). Practices typically start in late November/early December. 


Skills clinics are provided for the following age groups

  • Boys – 1st thru 6th grade - Saturdays in November
  • Girls – 1st thru 6th grade - Saturdays in November 

 

The Upper Makefield Newtown Basketball League is instructional in its orientation.  The primary objective of the skills clinic is to introduce the skills needed to play the game of basketball.  Drill stations will consist of dribbling, passing, shooting, defense and offensive spacing/movement.  We also use the clinics to evaluate skill levels to ensure we assemble evenly balanced teams. Please make every effort to attend the clinics in November - thank you! 


Our 1st & 2nd grade teams (boys and girls) will start the season in December. Game day, typically mid-day on Sundays, consists of skills & drills, followed by a scrimmage. 

Our 3rd & 4th grade teams (boys and girls) will practice once per week and play one game on Saturday. Practices dates/times depend on coach and gym availability. 

Our 5th & 6th grade teams (boys and girls) will practice once per week and play one game on Saturday. Practices dates/times depend on coach and gym availability. 

Our two high school boys' programs (7th - 9th grade & 10th - 12th grade) will play once per week (typically on a Sunday). Games will begin in January. 


An intramural coaching commitment requires organizing one (1) practice a week and coaching one (1) game per weekend.  In some cases, coaches are asked to referee games either prior to or after their scheduled game.  We ask the coaches to please make every effort to attend the coach’s clinic prior to the start of the season.

All players and parents are asked to respect the gym property and to behave in an acceptable manner during the season.  Any abusive behavior or foul language will result in the immediate dismissal of coach, player or parent from the league.  The league enforces a code of conduct that all parents are asked to review and become familiar with.
