Jim Snow Youth Recreation Basketball Philosophy

Health and Safety

As a town organization, we believe that the health and safety of the players entrusted to our care is a serious responsibility.

 

Responsible Leadership

We believe we have an obligation to parents to provide responsible leadership possessing good judgment.

 

Player Experience

We strive to maintain our program in such a way that all players will have the opportunity to broaden their horizons, to gain knowledge by acquiring new skills and to experience the joy of friendship.

 

Equal Play Opportunity

All divisions in the South Windsor Jim Snow Youth Basketball League have very specific playing time rules designed to allow each child the opportunity to play at least one half of every game. Every child will be assigned to a team. There are no cuts from South Windsor Jim Snow Youth Basketball. Please be sure to register before the deadline to ensure your child is placed on a team.

 

Youth Basketball

Recreational Jim Snow Youth Basketball League (Grades K-12)

Proudly named for former long-time Recreation Director, Jim Snow. This fun, recreational league emphasizes the importance of a team, while developing skills. We offer a progression of divisions beginning with kindergartners in our Mighty Mites hoop division all the way through senior year of high school. Since the goal of this league is to provide fun, recreation play for youth, we require participants to play within their designated grade level division.

Become a Volunteer Youth Basketball Coach!

Coaches are among the most influential adults in the lives of youth athletes and play an essential role in creating a positive, fun, and successful basketball season.

Interested in getting in the game? We are looking for dedicated volunteers who are willing to lead, encourage, and support a team of youth basketball players throughout the season.

We strongly encourage all prospective coaches to register before the mandatory Coaches Orientation and Seminar on Wednesday, October 28th.
