Basketball

Knox County partners with local youth sports organizations who oversee the community-based teams in the many communities across Knox County.  The recreational youth basketball season is played in the winter (November-February) in Knox County School gymnasiums.  Players are encouraged to participate with the local commission to build friendships and foster character-building activities while also developing athletic skills in the youth recreational basketball leagues.
