League Philosophy
South Portland Parks & Recreation runs a recreational High School aged basketball league for players in the Southern Maine community. The main purpose of this league is to provide a safe environment where players have the opportunity to participate in a competitive program. In addition to the league rules, we feel strongly that all players should have the chance to participate, and that player development, not winning, should be the ultimate goal.
The objective of this league from a recreational standpoint shall be:
- To instruct players in the rules, techniques and principles of basketball while helping to develop the physical, social and emotional needs of each player.
- To develop spirit of fair play and sportsmanship for the betterment of youth sports
- Remembering that these games are for the players, not the adults.
