Welcome to Fort Lee Boys Jr Basketball program. Last year we had over 300 boys playing in four divisions. Below is an explanation of the different divisions. We are planning to start practices week of December 4and games will start week of December 11^th.  The season will end around the second week in March. We also have at the end of the season a coach’s’ game and a season ending ceremony. These dates are tentative and will depend on the weather.

1.      2^nd grade – This is our teaching level for first time basketball players. At this level we run drills teaching dribbling, passing and shooting. We use games to practice what they have learned in a fun environment. Depending on the number of boys registered, we divide this group into two teams. Each team will meet once a week at the Community Center from 7:15 – 8:15pm on Wednesday or Thursday.

2.      Freshmen Division – This division is comprised of 3^rd and 4^th graders. In the past this division is comprised of six- eight teams. Practices are one hour on Monday or Tuesday starting at 6pm and ending at 9pm at one of Fort Lee’s elementary schools. One game each week is played at the Community Center or Fort Lee Middle School on Wednesdays or Thursdays from 6pm to 9pm. We use the games as a teaching tool. As the game is played, if the referee or coaches see players making mistakes, they will be instructed on the proper methods of play.

3.      Junior Varsity Division – This division is comprised of 5^th and 6^th graders. In the past the division is comprised of eight teams of approximately 12 players. Practices are one hour on Monday or Tuesday starting at 6pm and ending at 9pm at one of Fort Lee’s elementary schools or Youth Center located across from Fort Lee High School at 2265 Lemoine Ave. corner of Lemoine Ave and Wilson.
