WINTER CO-ED BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Winter basketball has long been a part of the 78 Youth Sports community — kids learning the game, teammates becoming friends, volunteer coaches giving their time, and families filling the gyms each weekend. Our Winter Rec League is a place for kids to learn, compete, improve and have fun. We want players to become better basketball players while being part of a team and a community they enjoy coming back to each week.
Registration is first come, first served, and divisions may fill before the November 1 deadline — so don't wait for the shot clock to run down.
