Hudsonville Community Education

Grades 3 - 6

We are thrilled to share the news about our upcoming basketball league! The league will be comprised of 10-man teams from each school, with one team per grade level. This exciting opportunity will allow students to form bonds with their peers while developing their basketball skills by practicing once a week and playing two games on Saturday mornings.

The season will culminate with a highly-anticipated tournament to determine which school can claim the coveted title of championship winner. We cannot wait to see the passion and dedication these young athletes will bring to the court as they strive to achieve victory for their school.

This basketball league is an excellent way for students to stay active, improve their teamwork skills, and form lifelong friendships. We encourage all students to participate and look forward to watching the excitement unfold on the court!

Having a coach and an assistant coach for each grade is a great way to ensure that our kids receive the best possible experience. It is important to have enough coaches to provide individual attention to each player and to ensure that practices and games run smoothly.

If we have enough kids to add another team at a particular school and grade level, we will do our best to make this happen. However, it is also important to ensure that we have enough qualified coaches to lead these additional teams.

Ages 4 and up

Our lessons are perfect for beginners who want to learn balance, gliding, and agility and can be applied to figure skating or hockey. Kids 5 and up are welcome to join us for 50 minutes of instruction each week, and we provide skates and require helmets for safety.

Please have your child dress warmly and wear thin socks, and arrive 20 minutes early for the first session so we can fit your skates and assign you to the right class. The fee includes skate rental. We can't wait to see you on the ice!
