Youth Basketball - Winter 2025

Dribble, shoot, and score in our action-packed recreational basketball league! Open to players of all skill levels, this program focuses on skill-building, teamwork, and having fun on the court. Smithville Parks & Recreation partners with nine neighboring communities—East Buch, Mid-Buch, DeKalb, Platte City, North Platte, West Platte, Lathrop, Lawson, and Plattsburg—making this a dynamic league with exciting games and opportunities for growth.

Please note that 2nd graders are not eligible to move up at this time.
