I-270 Youth Basketball Welcome

Dedicated to strongly serving Montgomery County's youths for nearly 50 years!

I-270 Youth Sports Club is the preeminent longest running competitive basketball program in Montgomery County.

The I-270 Youth Sports Club believes in developing our communities youths to have a strong sense of community spirit, to be people of high character, have a sense of fairness, and a relentless desire to achieve their fullest potential.

We achieve this through our competitive sports league which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has served Montgomery County youth for over forty years of competitive basketball. I-270 Youth Sports serves over 400 players from ages 8 to 15 yrs in three divisions across nine (9) areas:

• Bethesda - Whitman & Walter Johnson HS clusters
  
• Clarksburg - Clarksburg HS cluster
• Darnestown - Quince Orchard HS cluster
• Gaithersburg - Gaithersburg & Watkins Mill HS clusters
• Germantown - Seneca Valley & Northwest HS clusters
• Olney - Sherwood HS cluster
• Potomac - Churchill & Wooton HS clusters
• Redland - Magruder HS cluster
• Rockville - Rockville HS cluster

Our league is unique in that we have strong and close relationships with the local high school basketball coaches. So much so that several high school varsity coaches serve and have served as Area Directors and team coaches. I-270 is a competitive feeder program into the local high school basketball programs that focuses on teaching basketball fundamentals as well as competitive fair play and sportsmanship. Many I-270 players go on to play for their respective high school programs. The league also has seen numerous former players excel at the collegiate level as well as several who have reached the professional ranks.

I-270 is sponsored by Dick's Sporting Goods. Games are played in area school gyms and officiated by IAABO referees. There is a 16 game regular season followed by a single elimination playoffs where all teams make the playoffs and are seeded based on their regular season standings. Trophies are awarded to the Champions in each division. There is also an all-star game for each of the 3 divisions at the end of the season.

Tryouts are held in early October with games starting in early November culminating with the Championships in February.

If you have a child serious about developing their basketball skills and competing against some of the top talent in Montgomery County then I270 is for you - come join us!

Congratulations to our 2024-25 I-270 Division Champions!

Clarksburg Bantams, Clarksburg Juniors and Germantown Seniors. The Clarksburg Juniors will represent I-270 March 15th&16th, in the Joe Jones III cross county tournament at St Johns Catholic Prep in Buckeystown, MD.

Clarksburg Bantams
The #1 seed Potomac Bantams coached by Jimmy Little and Dave Kosc fell behind early as a result of the offensive onslaught by Clarksburg's CJ Ojo. They were able to stage a ferocious come back in the second half but were held off by the clutch second half play of game MVP Juju Wilson whose key buckets down the strech led Clarksburg to their Championship win. Congratulations! coaches Ojo and Biggs on an outstanding season.

Clarksburg Juniors
The Junior Championship featured a matchup between #1 seed Clarksburg and #2 seed Gaithersburg. Each team featured extremely skilled and athletic players. Clarksburg coached by Vik Dua was led by big man and game MVP Jacobi Phillips, Lincoln Turner and Declan Childers. Gaithersburg coached by Ken Barrett and led on the court by Xavier Hines and TJ Sanders competed until the end but had no answer for Clarksburg's big man, Jacobi, whose play was literally and figuratively head and shoulders above the competition. Congratulations Clarksburg and coach Dua!

Germantown Seniors
The #1 seed Germantown Seniors coached by Steve Hall completed a dominant season led by Eddison Floyd, Henry Hecklinger, and game MVP Connor Kuk by winning the championship against a very talented and tough #6 seed Redland team coached by Ed Wilson and John Burke. Redland's Nathaniel Wilson left everything on the court but the depth and talent of Germantown proved to be too much to overcome as it had been throughout the season.
Congratulations coach Hall and G'town for an outstanding season!
