Hanover Youth Basketball League (HYBL)

It's time to start working with your players on their Kyrie Killa crossovers, Steph step-backs, Harden heat checks, Lebron layups, Jordan pull-up jumpers, Magic show-time passes, Dr. J. baseline scoops, Kareem skyhooks, Caitlin Clark deep threes, Lisa Leslie reverse pivots, and especially their Big Ben Wallace lockdown defense! 

Hanover Youth Basketball League is designed to introduce young players to the sport while enhancing and fine-tuning the skills of more experienced players. Your child will learn the fundamentals of basketball with age-appropriate skills, drills, and game-play rules.  Our League is set up such as to help build confidence and ability as the season progresses. Your player will improve their understanding of the sport, shooting, dribbling, passing, defense, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the season.
