East Central Youth Basketball 3rd-6th Grade Girls Youth basketball will generally include two weekdays and Saturday practices (or Saturday games). Weekday practices could be in the evenings from 5:45-7:15 or after school from 3:15-4:45. We do work around the available gym space for practices and will be working with local leagues to get games scheduled so the final practice and game schedule can’t be released until the high school schedule is out. Practices will start mid November and the season runs through early February. We participate in the Hwy 23 League with games on Saturdays in Mora. The scheduled Saturday games dates in Mora are 12/7/24, 12/21/24, 1/25/25 & 2/1/25. We will use an activity app, Heja, to share schedules and messages.
