Join us for this league for 6th-8th graders to play for their school. This is for players who did not make the middle school team this fall OR chose not to try out. This will allow these boys a chance to still play for their school, but in an intramural setting. This program is NOT part of the intramural programs sponsored by the schools, this is a separate program offered through HV Rec and Ed! We will allow 1 non-HVS team to join as well so we have an even 4 teams for games. Each team will consist of 10-12 players from their school. Registration will close Wed., October 29, by then everyone should know if your child made the middle school team or not. Registration fees will not be collected until Fri., October 31, that way if you register now and your child makes the team, you do not have to pay the fee until tryouts are completed. We would like to secure 2 coaches per team and in lieu of paying the coaches, we will waive the entire registration fee for each coach for their time. If you are interested in being a coach for one of these teams, please respond accordingly during registration. If we are able to secure a non-parent coach, we will compensate them for their time. Scholarships are available, as needed as well. Please contact us at Shannon.Loso@hvs.org for those details. Practices will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7:30 p.m. or 7:30-9 p.m. at your home school (if possible) and games will be on Monday or Wednesday night at one of the HVS middle schools. The plan is to host a playoff on the final night of play, all 4 teams will play 2 games. The winners of the first game will play for 1st and 2nd and the losers of the first game will play for 3rd and 4th. The season will run November through December; congruent to the Middle School Boys Basketball season.
