DSA Participates in the I-270 Sports Club Basketball League.
There are three teams having the following age groups: Bantams -
8-10 years old, Juniors - 11-12 years old, and Seniors - 13-14 years
old. The coaches, with their assistant and independent evaluators,
hold tryouts for the three age groups. Tryouts begin during mid
October each year. Regular season games begin in mid November and
playoff games are scheduled for March. The I-270 Sports Club has
separate Board of Directors that includes the DSA Basketball
Commissioner. The registration fee goes to the I-270 Sports Club and
not to DSA. However, it is DSA who pays for practice gym rental,
basketballs, and other operating costs. Uniforms are provided and
must be returned following the last game. These expenses are
offset through sponsors, a rebate from the I-270 Sports Club,
Hoopsters League and the Hornets Summer Basketball Camp.
Players and parents must understand that I-270 has no "must play"
rule. Although coaches are encouraged to play all players as much as
possible, there is no minimum playing time. The I-270 league is very
competitive and has a history of developing the future stars for
high school and college programs.

DSA Basketball has an instructional basketball league that teaches younger players the
basic fundamentals of basketball skills and rules to prepare for playing games. This league is held during
the winter, beginning in December. Players who are in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades are eligible to register. The
league lasts 12 weeks and each participant receives a basketball and Hoopsters T-shirt. The league is
taught by the DSA coaches and former I-270 players who strive to create a structured learning yet energetic
environment. The registration fee covers gym rental, a basketball and a Hoopsters T-shirt. The Hoopsters
program is a fundraiser for DSA Basketball. The Hoopster Basketball League will be held December through
February. Registration will be in November.
