Registration: Registrations will be accepted on a space-available basis through November 3. If your child's age group is in "waitlist" status when you register, 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 November 3 and your child is placed on a team, a $30 late fee will be assessed, and teammate requests may not be available.
Fee: $129 if registered on or before November 3. $159 if registered after November 3.
Team Formation: Teams will be formed based on gender, grade level, school attendance, availability of volunteer coaches and teammate requests. Players may request to be placed on the same team as one other player when registering. Teammate 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 November 21 at 7:00. Coaches should be able to attend most Saturday practices/games and the coach training. Please note your interest in coaching during the registration process.
Uniform: Players will receive a team t-shirt. Players should wear athletic clothing and non-marking gym shoes. Players are required to bring a junior-size basketball (27.5 or size 5) to each practice/game. Minnetonka basketballs will be available for purchase at Minnetonka Community Education Center starting in early September.
