What is UPPER LEVEL basketball?

UPPER LEVEL basketball is a league for individuals with special-needs* ages 8 & older. We provide a safe, family friendly environment for individuals to play without the fear of ridicule or exclusion. The families enjoy watching their loved one compete at their ability level. Players attend one night a week for 6 weeks. Practices and games take place during the same time each week. The season concludes with a family dinner and awards ceremony.

*For this league, special-needs is defined as a person who is in a self-contained class in the public school system OR receiving special services through adult development disabilities programs OR who requires adaptive devices to be mobile.

Our 2020 season is cancelled.

  1. All players will receive a reversible jersey with the same colors.
  2. We'll have 3 divisions: (we will combine children and youth if necessary)
    1. 4 teams in the Children's division (ages 8-14 years old)
    2. 4 teams in the Youth division (ages 15-18 years old)
    3. 8 teams in the Adult division (ages 19 and older)
