The Advanced Basketball League (ABL) is a division designed to teach players how to play in a competitive game while continuing to improve their skills. This 7-week Saturday night winter league is for boys and girls in 2nd and 3rd grade.
Players may have some prior basketball experience, be considered intermediate, or developmental (designed for players who are looking for more than a recreational league). The ABL will prepare players to compete for a spot on a Warrior PAL travel team (no guarantees) in the 3rd and/or 4th grade Rhode Island Metro West League. Volunteer coaches are needed, so please email warwickyouthbasketballri.org if you are interested.

How the ABL works:
Players will register, attend the first session (mandatory), and will be evaluated for placement for the remaining 6 sessions.
Each session is 1 hour and 15 minutes in length.
Each session is broken into two parts: 45 minutes of skills/drills practice led by our travel coaches and a 30-minute game against the opposing team.
The league is played at 9-foot baskets to ensure players are shooting with the proper shooting form.
Each participant must bring their own 27.5 or 28.5 basketball and water bottle to each session.
This Little Warriors ABL focuses on individual and team skill development, which includes: ball handling with both hands, jump stops, passing, advanced pivoting, shooting on the move, court spacing, fast breaks, man-to-man defense, help defense, and rebounding.
Registration is open until it reaches capacity (this program will SELL OUT). Please enter your child’s t-shirt size in the notes section of registration.
