Dexter Community Education

The Community Education house basketball program is a developmental activity designed to teach basic basketball skills to boys and girls, grades 1-6. Teams practice once a week and play six games on Saturdays, January - March. Practices are scheduled M-Th, typically beginning after 6p, with days/times determined by the coach's availability. Grades 1-2 play 4 on 4 with a rim lowered to 9.5 ft. All age groups play with an intermediate 28.5 size ball. Volunteer parent coaches are an important part of the program. If you're interested in coaching, you may indicate that during the registration process. We are unable to accommodate requests for teammates, specific teams/coaches. WHAT TEAM IS MY CHILD ON and/or WHO IS MY CHILD’S COACH? The draft held mid-December, and you should hear from your coach no later than December 20. WHEN WILL WE GET PRACTICE TIMES? Coaches pick practice time at the draft and communicate with you. WHEN WILL WE GET GAME SCHEDULE? Games are on Saturdays and the first day of games is January 20. Registrations are still coming which affects the number of teams at each division; because of this, the game schedule won’t be done until the week of January 8, and we aren’t able to provide estimates on what time on Saturday divisions are playing until we know how many teams. Everyone registered will be placed on a team. There are no practices scheduled during the holidays. Practices begin the week of January 6 and games start Saturday, January 25. Recently, grades 5 & 6 have played 8-10a, grades 3 & 4 have played 10a-1p and grades 1 & 2 from 1-3p, however game times each year are TBA, based on registration. Fees: $120/$130. Register before December 1 and a $15 discount will be applied automatically at checkout. New This Year: Reversible Jerseys We’re excited to announce that starting this year, we will be using reversible jerseys that can be reused year after year or even handed down to siblings. This year, there will be a one-time cost for the jersey ($25 and is part of your registration fee this year). In future seasons, you'll have the option to purchase jerseys separately if needed. This change will make things easier and more sustainable for our families!
