FAQs

Our teams are set-up based on a number of factors including: grade, age, height, skill level (subjective) and special teammate request (not guaranteed).

Our “Special Request” feature is because we understand that convenience and comfort all factor into a child’s playing experience. 

We use a “ME + THREE” policy. A player may request up to a maximum of 3 players to play with. If this request is reciprocated by the requested players, we will do our best to honor your request.

We ARE NOT a team entry format. We strive to create a organized playground basketball experience that emphasizes and promotes socialization. 

Teams will play different nights of the week throughout the league. That way, should you have a recurring event on a certain night, you will not miss all of your games.
