Youth Basketball registration is now open! K5-8TH grade. 

Click here to register for the Waitlist! 

Registration is open from 8/4 to 10/6. 

The fee for Basketball is $85 (includes a uniform top).  All registrations received on or before October 6th, 2025, will be guaranteed a spot in our program. Registrations received after October 6th 2025, will be based upon available spots, and are NOT guaranteed. NO REFUNDS after October 6th!

We are a volunteer-led youth sports league, and we rely on parent volunteers to keep our programs running and affordable for families. Coaching and team support roles are filled by parents like you, and your involvement helps us offer quality experiences at a low cost.


When you volunteer as a head coach, you’ll enjoy these benefits:

  • Choose your assistant coach

  • Pick your practice days and times

  • Receive a free Family RecPASS for the duration of your volunteer season

If your child is placed on a team without a coach, we will need a parent to step up—teams cannot move forward without volunteer support. Thank you for helping us create a strong, supportive, and affordable program for our community!
