Minnetonka Community Education

REC BASKETBALL SEASON SAFETY PROTOCOLS

Thank you for registering in our Tonka Rec Basketball program. We are excited for a great season of learning and fun!

LEAGUE PLAY AND SCHEDULE

Competitive league for non-varsity boys who want to play against rec teams from other schools. 

Minnetonka teams will compete against teams from Wayzata, Hopkins and Edina. Teams practice once per week beginning the week of December 9. Sunday games at surrounding communities begin January 5, followed by an end of the season tournament the weekend of 3/8-3/9. All games will have two professional referees. Players will receive a reversible jersey.

PLEASE NOTE: If players register for both the Intramural Boys League and the Southwest Basketball League, the scheduler cannot guarantee that practices and games will not conflict between both leagues. 

SCHEDULE

Coaches, players and parents will be emailed their child's game schedule by December 21. 

TEAM FORMATION

Southwest League rules require that all teams be formed evenly (no stacked teams). Teams will be formed by a coaches' draft. Friend requests are honored only if both players have requested each other. Due to the equal teams rule, we may not be able to honor all friend requests. Players who register late will be placed onto a team based on roster openings while maintaining an evenly skilled team. 

COACHES

All teams require a volunteer coach who can attend all practices and games. If you are interested in coaching, please indicate your desire on your son’s registration. You will also need to complete a brief volunteer background check online at: http://www.minnetonkaschools.org/district/departme... There are a maximum of two coaches per team.
