Standard Registration Cost is $175. But, you can SAVE $20 per player by taking advantage of our early registration discount through Christmas Eve, December 24.

What you need to know:
There will be a season-ending tournament.
Practices will be on Thursday or Friday ONLY (same night and time for entire season).
Games will be on Saturdays.
Each player can request ONE friend to play with on the same team (both players must select each other through the friend field in the registration system). These requests are not guaranteed as we need to maintain team balance, but we will do our best to honor them, if possible.
Evaluations/Sizing:
Uniform sizing is part of the online registration. For sizing, please remember that players will grow during the season and that, we cannot do uniform exchanges/returns, as they are custom uniforms.
Each player must attend one basketball evaluation (you choose which one to attend). Evaluations will take place in the Gymnasium at 2300 N. Dilleys Road, Gurnee, IL as follows:
