UPPER LEVEL Basketball is a league for individuals with special-needs* ages 8 & older. We provide a safe, family friendly environment for individuals to play without the fear of ridicule or exclusion. The families enjoy watching their loved one compete at their ability level. In a typical season, the players attend one night a week for 6 weeks. Practices and games take place during the same time each week. The season concludes with a family dinner and awards ceremony. We are excited to offer an abbreviated camps season in 2021!
