What is D-League?

Teams · From the Just Hoop coaching staff

Between "just training" and full club basketball there's a step a lot of families ask us about. That step is the D-League — our own development league, played entirely at our facility with no travel.

D-League by JustHoop is a league focused on player development. The perfect program designed to help your player prepare for a more competitive environment. The D-League will allow your player to learn and strengthen their fundamentals, but also gain an understanding for the game of basketball, preparing them for competitive environments. Your child will build confidence, embrace team camaraderie, and learn life skills that can be applied on and off the court.

Who it's for

Boys and girls in grades 3–8. It's the right fit for players who are ready to play real, organized games but aren't yet ready for — or don't want — the commitment and travel of club/AAU basketball. Many of our club players started in the D-League.

How training fits in

Every D-League season is bundled with weekly skill training — you choose the Training Academy bundle or the Semi-Private bundle when you register. That way the games on Saturday are backed by real skill work during the week, which is the whole point of a development league.

Current season dates, practice times and registration all live on the D-League page.
