The Bloomington Youth Basketball league focuses on basketball fundamentals and the application of learned skills. Leagues are coed through grade 3; girls play in a girls-only league beginning in grade 4. Season includes weekly practices and games one night a week. Teams practice twice before games begin, then one night a week for the remainder of the season. There are a total of seven games, with no postseason tournament. Practice times and days are determined by the volunteer coach. Times can vary between 5:30–9:30 p.m. based on the coach’s schedule. Parent/player requests for placement on specific teams are not accepted; all requests must be submitted by volunteer coaches. Season runs October 16-December 14. Practices begin the week of October 16. Games begin the week of October 23. Registration deadline is Friday, September 29. Registrations are not accepted after the deadline. Games and practices are not held the week of November 20. Space is limited to a maximum number of players per age group. Once the maximum number of players is reached for each league, registration for that league will close. If your child’s league fills, you may opt to place your child’s name on a wait list. We will contact you if space becomes available.
