thrive Development League
THRIVE Development Basketball League (TDL) offers boys and girls in Grades 4 to 8 COED an excellent opportunity to improve their basketball skills in a supportive environment. The league focuses on teaching key rules, offensive and defensive concepts, and basketball IQ through modified games that promote teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun. Our philosophy emphasizes learning to play and developing skills that players can apply on the court.
Each game is guided by dedicated referees, scorekeepers, and coaches, ensuring a positive experience. Players are divided into teams and compete in a round-robin format, with scores and standings tracked throughout the season. Games are played on a standard 10-foot hoop, with 25- and 20-minute halves to maximize playtime. Substitutions happen every 5 minutes. At season’s end, the team with the most wins receives championship medals, and one player is recognized as the Most Valuable Player.
