There will be practice/Skill weeks and game weeks. They will alternate back and forth. The skill weeks will be run like a camp (by Mr. Boyle), but with smaller numbers and very focused instruction. We would like coaches/parents to help and be involved/assist on practice days as well. On game dates there will be no practice time before their games. Boys and girls in grades 1-2 will play on 8 foot baskets during the season (between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.) while those in grades 3-5 will play their games on regulation 10 foot baskets (between 11:30 and 1:30 p.m.).
Each game will consist of two 20 minute “running clock” halves while being officiated with volunteer officials trained by a licensed basketball official through the MHSAA.
**Returning for 2023--Depending on numbers I am considering separating boys and girls if possible. I am not sure how this will work, but I think it would be a better experience for all involved. However, numbers may not allow me to do this.**
The Chatfield Youth Basketball Program is a volunteer-based activity and will need help to allow the program to run smoothly each week. We expect all parents to have a vested interest in development of their child through this program. This includes helping with operating the scoreboard, concession stand workers, and the always important coaches. Please complete the form below and send in a check made payable to “The Chatfield School” to Mr. Boyle, Athletic Director, by January 14th. Please contact Mr. Boyle at
