Winter Basketball League

Last year was an inaugural season for the Takoma Park Winter Basketball League, and with the help of countless volunteers, the Takoma Park Recreation Department and Recreation Committee were able to provide an excellent opportunity for boys and girls to learn about and enjoy the game of basketball. This year the basketball league is expected to draw 50 to 60 teams and approximately 600 players plus coaches, parents & spectators, ranging in grades from kindergarten through 8.  The leagues main goal is to provide a safe, fun, recreational environment to play basketball.
