Registration: Registrations will be accepted on a space-available basis until December 1. If your child's age group is in "waitlist" status, it means that teams are full or the registration deadline has passed. Please complete the registration to be placed on the waitlist (your credit card will not be charged unless you are placed on a team). You will be contacted by Community Education if we are able to get your child on a team. If you register after December 1 and your child is placed on a team, a $30 late fee will be assessed, and player requests may not be available.
Fee: $109 if registered on or before December 1. $139 if registered after December 1.
Team Formation: Teams will be formed based on school attendance, availability of volunteer coaches and teammate requests. Requests will be taken into consideration providing the player you request also requests you. Only one request per player is allowed. Please note that although we try to accommodate these requests, they are not guaranteed.
Coaches Needed!: Have fun coaching your son or daughter and teammates! We'll provide curriculum, support and training. A virtual coach meeting will be on December 17 at 7:30pm and a coach clinic on January 6 at 7:30pm. Coaches should be able to attend most Saturday practices/games. Please note your interest in coaching during the registration process.
Uniform: Players will receive a team t-shirt & basketball. Players should wear athletic clothing and non-marking gym shoes.
