Youth Basketball
The Fall Showcase League is a competitive, player-led fall league for high school boys and girls (Grades 9-12) preparing for the upcoming season. Players register individually and are placed on balanced teams, creating an opportunity to compete with and against players from the Dayton & Cincinnati areas. Unlike traditional leagues, there are no coaches on the bench. Players lead their teams by managing substitutions, communicating, making adjustments, and competing together throughout every game.
The league runs on Sunday nights from August 30 - October 4th.
