The WHYBL's Junior Division is made up of up 18 teams consisting of 10, 11 and 12 year olds (born in 2013-2015). While the WHYBL Junior Division is a coed league, there is also a separate division with only female participants (https://www.whgirlsbasketball.com). Parents/Guardians should determine which division is appropriate for their child. All West Hartford residents and those attending West Hartford public and private schools are eligible to register.
If you're interested in coaching, please contact Trent LaLima (trentlalima@gmail.com) and Djordje Radujko (Djordje.radujko23@gmail.com).

A few other notes:
Players who are returning to this division do not need to attend assessments and will be placed back with their teams from last year. This encourages year-after-year development/chemistry and helps us achieve league parity.
We do not accept buddy requests - trying to balance our gym availability with kids' conflict days during the week while still maintaining balanced talent is difficult enough before accounting for friends who must play together. We have a three year division, so new players will often make new friends and build on those new friendships over multiple years. Only siblings are paired together.
Please note your child's conflict days when you register - our practices are Monday-Friday, some time between 5-9 p.m., and games are every Sunday and a few Saturdays. But, we can only be sure we can avoid one day. We have limited gym availability and sometimes practice twice per week, so we can only confidently accommodate one conflict request. We want to ensure your child can regularly make at least one practice each week.
Our division is based on year of birth, not grade. We do not have any players play down a division if they are too old for it. If your child is a fall birthday in 4th grade, most of his classmates will be playing in the Rookie division instead of this division. But, please be assured fall birthdays players are not alone and are one of many - about one quarter of the league is fall birthdays. We will have quite a few other 4th graders in the Junior Division.
