2020-21 Red Cedar League Update - Canceled
We are sorry to announce that the Red Cedar League has been canceled for 2020-21.
2021 Self-Contained Recreational Basketball Program
Here is a description of the program:
In response to the pandemic, the East Lansing Department of Parks, Recreation and Arts is offering a self-contained recreational basketball program instead of the traditional league. The emphasis will be on individual skill development, exercise & intrasquad scrimmaging. Participants will be grouped in pods of 10-12 by class & school. Each pod will meet with a volunteer coach (on a weeknight and/or Saturday) for a 50 minute session at the Hannah Community Center gym, 819 Abbot Road, or possibly one of the East Lansing elementary gyms. The pods will NOT interact with other pods.
For more information, see the East Lansing Department of Parks, Recreation and Arts website.

Important Dates:
COVID-19 Statement:
Given the current health situation, we are assigning participants to pods based on school & grade. Households will be given a two-question COVID screening questionnaire to review with their child before each session (if the answer to either question is YES, your child must stay home). Temperature checks will be taken of each child, coach & staff member upon arrival & all participants will have to be fever-free to stay for the session. To limit the sharing of equipment, participants will need to bring a labeled water bottle, basketball & wear a clean face covering/mask each session. Due to social distancing & safety protocols, parents are not permitted to stay with their child. Current Health Department mandates will be followed. Once we have placed your child in a pod, you will receive an e-mail with more information & drop off details.
The Pods:
We are anticipating that East Lansing School District will be back to offering in-person class at this point. If this is the case, then the district will most likely not be allowing students from other schools to enter other buildings. In an effort to maintain this health protocol, and provide safe consistency, we will not allow the pods to contain a mix of players from other schools.
Coaching needs:
We are collaborating with the East Lansing Basketball Club on this project. For each pod, we are hoping to have two coaches: an ELBC coach, and a rec coach, whenever possible. A city staff member will assist with arrival, temperature checks, COVID screening, departure and sanitizing so that coaches can focus on running the session.
We will post updates here and on Twitter/Facebook.

The purpose of the East Lansing Basketball Club is to foster, encourage and promote the playing of the sport of basketball for the children, families and residents of the East Lansing School District (public, private and home-schooled). This will be done through various means in order to develop and promote the qualities of physical fitness, competitive spirit, team play, school loyalty and good sportsmanship. This organization was formed in order to develop stronger basketball programs in our schools and work ultimately as a feeder program to East Lansing High School.
