The I-270 Youth Sports Club has supported Montgomery county for nearly 40 years of competitive basketball for area youth.  The Basketball Program serves over 300 players from the Clarksburg, Darnestown, Gaithersburg, Olney, Germantown, Potomac, Redland, Rockville, and Bethesda communities.  The I-270 league is a competitive feeder program into the local High School programs.

 

Players wear  team uniforms supplied by the I-270 Sports Club and play in area school gyms with IAABO referees.  There is a 16-game regular season followed by a Championship tournament with trophies awarded to each member of the Divisions Championship team. There is an All-Star game. 

 

The I-270 Youth League is comprised of three divisions:

 

Bantams: Ages 9 & 10 (11 year old players are eligible provided they do not turn 11 before 9/1 of current year)

Juniors:   Ages 11 & 12 (13 year old players are eligible provided they do not turn 13 before 9/1 of current year)

Seniors:   Ages 13 & 14 (15 year old players are eligible provided they do not turn 15 before 9/1 of current year)

 

[NOTE: All players making an I-270 team will be required to turn in a photocopy of their official state birth certificate with their registration form. A hospital record is not an official record. This will verify each player’s age.]

 

The I-270 youth basketball league is an “area” based program.  Eligible players must tryout for the team represneting their assigned HS cluster.  When a Middle School is listed in more than one area, select the area that would be appropriate for the nearest Elementary School.  Please check with the coach or Area Head if you have any questions.  If you attend a private school or are home schooled you can tryout for the team representing your MCPS HS cluster. If you a live outside the areas and/or eligible school clusters you must submit an exception request to the league to be eligible to participate.  Proof of attendance in an area school is required (photo ID or grade report) upon selection to the team.
