REGISTRATION OPENS AUGUST 18th
Full court basketball games are introduced with an instructional format. Recreation Basketball focuses on learning the game, improving your skills and having fun.
There are no requests for team placement or practice night. Players cannot be transferred once drafted to a team. Recreation leagues are determined by the participant's current grade, participants are not able to play in a higher grade.
Teams practice on a weeknight (1-2 nights Monday through Friday) with games on Saturdays. The practice schedule is determined by the volunteer head coach.
Games begin in early January. The 3rd/4th grade league is an in-house program and do not play games versus other towns. Each team plays six to seven games during the season.
During registration please ensure you select the appropriate shirt size for the participant. Uniform shirts are ordered and provided based on the size selected during the registration process. If a different size shirt is required after uniforms are ordered, parents will need to pay an additional fee for a new shirt. If you are not sure what size shirt you need, samples sizes will be available to try on at the Parks and Recreation office during normal business hours September 1st through November 6th.

VOLUNTEER COACHES NEEDED
The Boys and Girls Recreation Basketball Leagues cannot begin until we have volunteer coaches for all the teams in that league. Extensive basketball knowledge/playing experience are not required. We look for coaches who will provide a safe, fun and educational experience while setting nothing less than the best example for players. All coaches must submit to a background check and attend the pre-season coaches meeting.
