The Philips HWY Basketball League
The Philips HWY Basketball League is a 6-week developmental league created by Hoopers Paradise to give players a unique and impactful experience. Designed for 5th–6th and 7th–8th grade boys, the league prioritizes growth, competition, and learning — all in one session each Saturday.
We’re only accepting 36 players per division to create 4 small teams of no more than 9 players. That means more playing time, real coaching, and no sitting on the bench wondering when it’s your turn.
Play, Practice, Play
Each Saturday includes:
Warm-Up
1st Half Game
Halftime Practice (focus on skill, confidence, and corrections)
2nd Half Game
No weeknight drives. No chaotic weekend travel.
Just one Saturday session that includes both game and development.
