  • Winter Season
    Each fall/winter team will be composed of approximately ten (10) members chosen through a tryout procedure, which will take place in September or October. Each team will participate, until early March, in a the Metro league and either a second league or any appropriate tournaments, as approved by the Board of Directors. It is the intention of the Club to provide at least one team per sex for each of the 3rd 4th 5th and 6th grades only, in the Fall/Winter.
  • Spring Season
    The Spring/Summer basketball season is during April and May, with tryouts in March.  During the Spring, only two players from each school team (grades 7 and above) can participate on the same team.    If at all possible, two Kettering boys will be selected for each of these 4 teams.  The 4th, 5th and 6th grade Spring session will be all Kettering City School boys if enough are available and will play leagues and tournaments. 
Eligibility
Priority will be given to children enrolled in Kettering City Schools.  Others will be added only as space permits during each season.
