ERA Recreational Basketball League
Represent Your School. Represent Your Community.
The ERA Recreational Basketball League gives boys and girls in grades K–6 the opportunity to develop their basketball skills, build confidence, and compete in a positive, team-focused environment.
ERA is partnering with select Nashville-area elementary schools to build school-based basketball teams, allowing students to represent their schools and compete against neighboring schools. The league offers two divisions: the Recreational Division, where individual players of all skill levels are placed on balanced school-based or community teams, and the Bring Your Own Team (BYOT) Division, where coaches and organizations can register complete teams to compete together. Students who do not attend participating schools are welcome and will be assigned to a nearby school or community team.
