Overview

The Lil Hawks Youth Basketball Program is a recreational league that provides boys and girls the opportunity to learn the game, develop skills, and play basketball. The purpose of this league is to learn, but ultimately, HAVE FUN! Teams practice once a week and play 7 regular season games plus a season end tournament. Lil Hawks is open to all boys in Grades 1-8 (4 divisions: Grades 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, & 7-8) and all girls in Grades 1-6 (2 divisions: Grades 1-3, & 4-6).

We need coaches! This league consists of parent volunteer coaches. Check the appropriate box during registration to indicate your coaching interest. There will be a coaches' meeting prior to the Skills Evaluation.

League Info

Participation in the Lil Hawks Youth Basketball League is based on a first-come, first-served basis and spots are limited. Each division will ideally have 6 teams and be distributed as evenly as possible once the max limit has been reached. A Waitlist Registration will happen if this occurs.

Coaches determine the practice schedule for their teams. If you are not coaching, your practice night will be determined by the coach that drafts your player. This could include any weeknight. Games will take place on weekends. We are unable to accommodate "same team" requests (exception is siblings in the same league). Players are evaluated and drafted to ensure competitive balance. The coaches pick the teams, and the coaches pick the practice schedule.

There will be a coaches' virtual meeting prior to the Skills Evaluation on Wednesday, October 21st at 7pm. A link will be sent out via email a week prior to the email.
