Hoop it up with SSB

Social Sports of Bethesda has existed since 2003 and has offered many different sports.  During that time, SSB has offered co-ed football (spring and fall), softball (summer), dodge ball (summer), and volleyball (winter).  Throughout the years, we have heard a lot of suggestions from our participants about offering co-ed basketball league.  So, we listened and made it happen this fall.  October 5th was the inaugural season start for SSB co-ed basketball..

We play two 20-minute halves on a full size regulation court with two high school certified officials, an official score keeper, and we use gym scoreboard (feels like a high school or intramural game).  Unlike traditional SSB rules, there are no "gender" rules in co-ed basketball.  The only requirements for teams are that they have two females on the court at all times.   The other unique rule is that female points are with 3 points (inside the three point line) and 4 points (outside the three point line).  After week 1, there are a few girls who can shoot the lights out and can easily put up Kevin Durant numbers.

This season we will be playing the entire 8 weeks at Silver Spring International and having our after game happy hour at  Fire Station One in Silver Spring.  Come out and visit anytime and shoot around during half time and in between games.  If you are interested in getting a team next season, email us at info@socialsportsofbethesda.com.
