Youth Winter Basketball League
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 21st or until spots are full. You will be put on a waitlist after October 21st and will be contacted if a spot becomes available.
Please note: Team assignments and game schedules will be made after registration has concluded by the Youth Sports Coordinator. We rely on volunteer head coaches. If we do not have enough coaches for the number of kids registered, teams may not have weekly practices and/or teams will be large in size. So please consider being a coach.
Kindergarten - 1st Grade League
This league will be recreational and will focus on skill development and sportsmanship. No scores will be kept. The first three weeks will be a practice only where parent involvement is highly encouraged. During the remaining five weeks, teams will practice for a portion of their time and then finish with live games. During each live game, referees will stop play to explain rules and fundamentals. Boys and girls will play together. Basketball hoops at Southwood Glen will have 8 foot rims. All kindergartners must be enrolled in 5 year-old Kindergarten, not K4.

3rd – 8th Grade Boys and 4th – 8th Grade Girls Leagues We will hold player evaluations prior to making the teams to keep the team as equal as possible. Special requests are rarely granted in this league to ensure teams are evenly matched and for kids to meet other kids in the district. We will keep boys and girls separate per age level but may need to combine ages based on numbers. Teams in this league will have one practice a week for 50 mins and games on Saturdays.

- Teams will be formed off of evaluations, not teams requests.
