HHK/SR Rec Hoops - Grades 3-6
- Players are separated into four different divisions: Girls 3/4, Girls 5/6, Boys 3/4 and Boys 5/6
- Teams will be composed of HHK/SR residents (usually 9-10 players per team) who will compete against other HHK/SR teams in their division as well as teams from Upper Saddle River
- The teams will be coached by volunteer parents or high school students
- All 3/4 games are played at a basket height of 8'6"
- All 5/6 games are played at the standard 10' basket height
- All divisions play with a 28.5" basketball
- Most 3/4 games will occur on Friday nights or Saturdays (one per week with rare exception). Coaches will try to hold one weekly practice during the week (early evening)
- 5/6 games will be held on weekday evenings and Saturdays. We do our best to avoid conflicts with travel basketball. Coaches will try to hold one practice per week as schedule and court availability permits
- Following the regular season each division will have a single-elimination playoff tournament. All teams make the playoffs.
- The philosophy for all divisions is the same - have fun, develop basketball skills, teach teamwork and good sportsmanship
- There is a strong focus on nearly equal playing time for all players regardless of skill level
