2026 3rd-8th Grade Boys Schedule Reveal

Here are the games for our 3rd-8th Grade Boys. We are very excited to feature 46 teams in the BOYS division this season. That includes a record 23 teams in our 34-NBA Gold and Silver Division. No more small gyms as ALL the boys are moving into main gyms to play their games this season.

• Buzzardball features the Schedule Reshuffle. That means that three games will be played to help us determine how the rest of the season will shape out. The goal in this process is to place teams with teams of similar skill level.

• We love our volunteers. Each team is required to have one parent help with the scorebook (HOME TEAM) and scoreboard (AWAY TEAM). We will have Site Directors available to assist you. We keep it easy. In fact, I have two quick tutorials located at the bottom of this page.

• If you and I were looking at the teams from the stands across the court, the HOME TEAM (White Jersey) will sit on the right side (like the Kings), and the AWAY TEAM (Dark Jersey) will sit on the left side. Teams will warm up on the basket opposite their bench.
