Dear Basketball Community:

DVBL would like to provide some information about the league.  

In 2018, the DVBL acquired the Alexandria boys basketball program previously run by BJ Farrow.  BJ has also joined the DVBL board and will be the one to help any Alexandria player/parent or coach as they get acquainted with DVBL. We were fortunate to acquire the girls program several years ago and now we have the boys program.

Practice - DVBL has gym time at Holland School, the Riegel Ridge Community Center and Alexandria Middle School.

Your child will play with others kids from Holland, Alexandria and Milford.  Your child could have a coach who resides in any of those towns as well - as all of our volunteer coaches are parents of a player.  Teams are selected by the coaches at each level immediately after evaluations. 

Little Shooters - (Kindergarten) Little Shooters practice and play at the Ridge - as always.

D1 - (1st & 2nd grade) - Division 1 players will practice and play between the Holland and Alexandria gym locations. This level plays games against the teams in the division. There is no traveling.

For D2, D3 and D4 (grades 3 - 8) - your child will play games under the North Hunterdon Basketball League. Other teams we play will include - Kingwood, Delaware, Franklin, Bethlehem, Union and Clinton. We have been a part of the North Hunterdon Basketball League for several years and it is a wonderful competitive program.

If you have any questions or concerns - email, call or stop any one of us and ask. Our board members include: Mike Henderson, Jim Hintenach, BJ Farrow and Leigh Anne Walker.

Thank you & we look forward to seeing you on the court!
