Summer House Program: Burke Basketball offers a 4-week Summer League program in July with registration beginning in May. The league will be less structured than our winter program, with no practices (for rising grades 5-12) and flexible game attendance. Come to as many games as your summer schedule permits.

We also have a summer league for rising 3rd-4th grade players .  This will involve only one game per week along with one practice day during the week.   Your family commitment will be 2 days per week, for 4 weeks. 

Fun environment to play and develop your skills.

House Evaluations are not required for the Summer House Program. Teams will be formed based on grade, and age groups may be combined based on regisrtation numbers.

Please provide us your primary email address during the registration process, and check it grequently.

Volunteering to help for a Summer House team is simple. Please put your contact information in using the on-line Volunteer Registration process. Coaching the summer teams (grades 5-12) is very relaxed as there are no practices, only overseeing 2 games per week.
