🏀Basketball Free Agent/Draft Registration is Now Open🏀

Does your child love basketball but doesn’t have a team to play on? Or maybe they already play on a team and just want an opportunity to get even more basketball this season?

Our Free Agent/Draft Basketball League is the perfect opportunity! We will have a seperate boys and girls division available in the following age divisions: 1st/2nd Grade, 3rd/4th Grade, and 5th/6th Grade. A Kindergarten division will be offered as a co-ed division!

AND THE BEST PART — IT’S COMPLETELY FREE TO PLAY!

There is NO registration fee and NO cost to play. Just sign up, show up, and get ready to play some basketball!

Registration: August 26 – October 12
Games: Saturdays
Season: 6 games
Games begin: First week of November
Cost to play: FREE!

Players who register as free agents will be placed into teams through our draft process, giving them the opportunity to play even if they don't already have a team. Teams will be organized after registration closes October 12th!

And here's another great part — players can participate in BOTH the Free Agent/Draft League AND the Formed Team League! So if your child wants more opportunities to play basketball, they can play in both leagues.

Registration is completely online! Simply follow the link below to register your child.

Interested in coaching? We are also looking for volunteers to coach! If you'd like to help give local kids the opportunity to play, you can volunteer to coach by following the link below as well.

If your child loves basketball, this is a chance they won't want to miss — especially when it doesn't cost a thing! Bring your love of the game, make some new friends, and get out on the court for six Saturdays of basketball.
