Registration: Registrations will be accepted on a space-available basis through Sunday, October 5. 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 if we can get your child on a team. If you register after October 6 and your child is placed on a team, a $30 late fee will be assessed, and player requests may not be available.

Fee: $199 if registered on or before October 5. $229 if registered after October 5.

Team Formation: Teams will be formed based on gender, school, grade level and skill level. Players may request to be placed on the same team as one other player when registering. Teammate/sibling requests will be considered, provided the player you request also requests you. Only one request per player is allowed. Please note that although we do 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, including a preseason virtual meeting. Coaches should be able to attend most weekly practices and Saturday games. Please note your interest in coaching during the registration process. 

Uniform: Players will receive a team jersey. Players should wear athletic clothing and non-marking gym shoes. Players are required to bring a basketball to each practice/game. Grade 6 boys & grades 6-8 girls use an intermediate-size basketball (size 28.5).  Grades 7-8 boys use a full-size basketball.  Minnetonka basketballs will be available for purchase at the Minnetonka Community Education Center in early September.

Refunds: Refunds, minus a $10 cancellation fee, will be given for cancellations received on or before October 5. After this date, partial refunds will be considered in the case of injury.

Referees Needed! MCE is seeking referees for grade 3-5 basketball games. Please click here to view job description and apply. Applicants attend a required referee training in November. Contact Andy at Andrew.Coutts@minnetonkaschools.org / 952-401-6831 for more information.
