IHM 1st & 2nd Grade Basketball Registration
2026–2027 Season
Registration is now open for IHM's First and Second Grade Basketball Program!
IHM is excited to return for our fourth consecutive year participating in the Little Lancers Basketball League, hosted by St. Edmond’s Academy!
This co-ed developmental league is open to IHM students and parishioners in 1st and 2nd grades.
The Little Lancers program focuses on introducing young athletes to the fundamentals of basketball, developing skills, building confidence, and encouraging teamwork and sportsmanship—all in a fun, supportive environment!
The league uses 8-foot baskets and 27.5-inch junior basketballs, making it a great introduction to the game and an excellent steppingstone to IHM's CYM basketball program, which begins in 3rd grade.

Registration Information
Registration Fee: $150 per player for IHM students and/or parishioners.
Player Jerseys: Each athlete will receive a jersey. Please indicate your child’s jersey size during online registration.
To ensure a positive experience for all players and allow for meaningful playing time, we aim to limit team rosters to approximately 10 players per team. Registration priority will be given to current IHM students and parishioners. Additional registrations will be considered based on roster availability.
All players must register online through the IHM Athletics website: www.ihmspartans.com
Volunteer Coaches Needed!
Our basketball program relies on parent volunteers to help make each season a success! We encourage parents interested in serving as a head coach or assistant coach to get involved. No prior coaching experience is necessary—just a willingness to help our youngest Spartans learn the game and have fun!
All volunteer coaches must complete the required IHM volunteer clearances and have them verified before participating in practices or games. Interested parents are encouraged to indicate their coaching interest during online registration or contact Katie Atallian at [email protected].
