THE KINGWOOD BASKETBALL LEAGUE
The KBL affords an opportunity to all residents of Kingwood Township and surronding areas, grades K-8, to play league basketball. The program will begin late November and ends in mid-March. Games are usually played on Friday evening and/or Saturdays. Practices will be held during the week in the evenings. The KBL intends that all applicants who apply, in time, will be allowed to play. If our registration numbers exceed the gym space that we have, the league reserves the right to take registrants on a first come - first served basis.

Everyone must now be wondering why the basketball league is selling off their basketballs. In 2009 the Kingwood Basketball will unveil a new image. The Kingwood Basketball league has been in dire need to replace its basketballs some of them are nine years old. We have been replacing some each year but it seems that we have been swimming against the tide. Some of the new balls we have purchased have disappeared. To solve this problem we have ordered new red & white balls with our leagues name on them which should be in sometime after Christmas.
