Registration Dates
CLOSED
You may register in person at the Parks and Recreation Office or online. Office hours are 8:15 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Registration forms will be available in the office. LIMITED PLAYERS PER AGE GROUP. After the registration deadline (or full), anyone interested may sign up for the *waitlist online only* and will be assigned to teams on an as-needed basis.
*Waitlist - How it works
If a spot becomes available, an automated email will be sent to the email address on file (please ensure you have verified and opted in to receive these emails). You will be given a timeframe to accept or decline the position. If you do not respond within that time frame, you will be removed from the waitlist, and we will offer the spot to the next person. You may re-add them to the waitlist. Once you have accepted the place, you will need to pay at that time.
Eligibility
Age Grouped Leagues (ages 7-16)
The leagues will be divided as follows: 8 & Under Girls (8u), 8 & Under Boys (8u), 10 & Under Girls (10u), 10 & Under Boys (10u), 13 & Under Boys (13u), and 16 & Under Boys (16u). Players will be assigned to a league based on their age as of September 30, 2025, the exact date the schools use to determine school age. Example: Even though a child may have turned 11 years old on October 1, their league age for winter basketball would be 10 years, as that was their age as of September 30. As a result, they would register to play in the 10u Winter Basketball League.
