REGISTRATION AND TEAMS

DIVISIONS

We are a recreational league that works in conjunction with Williamson County Parks & Recreation (WCPR). We offer youth basketball for boys and girls, ages 5 – 18 years old. Our age divisions include 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U & 16U & 18U. Your child’s age on August 31, 2023 is the age used for each division. (For example, if your child is 7 or 8 years old by August 31, he/she will play in the 8U division.)

6U CO-ED Division

Our 6U age division is operated “in house” (not in conjunction with Williamson County Parks & Recreation) and is a co-ed division. This age group is normally large enough that games are only played against EWA teams.

16U/18U Boys Division

New to 2023/2024 season, 18U will now be divided into 16U & 18U. Evaluations will not occur. These leagues are BYOT (bring your own team). Coaches must organize a team and email me a list of players. Players must already have a team/coach. Each team must have an ADULT (over 21) Coach present at every game. Players still need to register online, but there are no evaluations. Parents will receive information regarding your first practice from your coach.

TEAM FORMATION

WCPR RULES! – Teams are no longer allowed to “come back together” from last season. Each team will start the draft with the coach’s child and assistant coach’s child.

Open Teams

Open teams are available for 10u (boys & girls), 12u (boys & girls) & 14u (boys & girls). You must contact us during registration if you are interested in forming an OPEN team. Coaches must organize a team and email a list of players. Players still need to register online, but there are no evaluations for Open teams. Parents will receive information regarding your first practice from your coach. NOTE: Williamson County Parks and Recreation have decided that this will be the final season offering open leagues.
