Final schedules will be determined based on registration school gym availability.

We recommend that you register ASAP, as registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and spots go quickly. Winter 2025 fees:

Pony: $360

Freshmen: $360

Sophomores: $360

Juniors: $360

All teams are volunteer-coached and we always need coaches. While registering, please check the volunteer box and we will contact you. For first-timers, know that we pair new coaches with experienced ones whenever possible. 

In our co-ed divisions, we try to balance competition by evaluating all players in anticipation of a draft by the coaches. Teams are formed through division drafts based on evaluations. For competitive balancing reasons, we do not group players based on request. This is recreational basketball, so the focus is on learning and having fun, not the win-loss record.

​All players must be evaluated prior to being placed on a team. Once teams are finalized, you will receive a roster invite from the coach in late-November/early-December.

Mandatory evaluations are held at:
