What’s New

  •      This season will complete our three year plan to re-draft all teams from season to season.  Two years ago we began re-drafting the Cadets Division and last year we began re-drafting the Jr Lads Division.  The results have been overwhelmingly positive, with games in the re-drafted divisions being much more consistently competitive. We look forward to re-drafting teams in every division this season.
  •      We have extended the upper age limit to 15 (age as of 8/31/18) for our regular fall/winter program.  In the past, we have had a division for 15/16/17 year olds.  Due to low registration numbers, we have not been able to play this division the past two seasons.  Since a large majority of the registrations we do receive are for 15 year olds, we have made the decision to allow 15 year olds to continue playing, and possibly realign our current division structure.
  •      Divisions will remain the same as past seasons.
  •      For the third consecutive season, we are not increasing registration fees and have no fund-raiser requirements!
  •      Once again, we are offering Early Registration and Family Discounts.

Registration Information

  •      Online registration is always available by visiting our website at www.HLLBasketball.net.  You must pay by credit card.  Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are accepted.
  •      In-person registration is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, September 15.  Time and location will be emailed and posted on the league website once determined.
  •      New and returning players may register online with a credit card, at either of the in-person registrations, or by mailing in a completed registration form and payment.  Registration will close on Sunday, September 30, 2018.  Registrations received after that date will be placed on a waiting list.
  •      New players must show a birth certificate at tryouts.

Registration Fees

Registration fees remain the same as last season.  They are as follows:

  •           Instructional Division (ages 5 and 6)  $85
  •           All other divisions  $120 
  •           All registration fees are due at the time of registration.

Discounts

  •      Early Registration Discount.  Save $20 per player on all registrations received prior to 9/1/2018.
  •      Family Discount. 1st player per family – regular registration fee, 2nd player per family - save $20, 3rd player per family – save $40, and so on.

Tryouts

All players (not including Instructional Division) must attend tryouts.  Since we are re-drafting teams in all divisions now, every player must be evaluated so we can balance teams as best as possible.  Tryouts will only be held on Saturday, October 6.  Due to a short time frame between tryouts and team selection, there will be no make up date.  Please make every effort to attend.  Times per age group will be sent as we get closer to tryouts.  

Coaches

Please consider coaching a team this season.  It gets more difficult each season to find volunteers to coach.  Without volunteers to coach, we could be in a position to limit the number of players we can accept to play.  There is an opportunity to indicate your interest during the on-line registration process, and on the paper registration form.

Games and Practices

Games are typically played on Saturday afternoons or early evenings.  Practices are one night a week. 

The Instructional Division meets on Saturday mornings.



Your cooperation in registering as early as possible will help us better plan properly and provide your child with the best possible youth basketball experience
