Get in the Game!

The Dville 3 on 3 Youth Basketball Tournament is about more than just a game—it’s an investment in our students. Taking place on Saturday, September 13th, 2025, at Mason Creek Middle School, this event is designed for our talented 4th and 5th graders. If you’re a parent or student who wants to join the fun, now is the time to gather your team of up to six players, both boys and girls, and sign up. It’s a fantastic opportunity to develop skills, build confidence, and have a blast on the court while supporting a great cause.
