Mill Creek Youth Basketball League Registration

Mill Creek Parks & Recreation Youth Basketball League sign-ups have begun & teams are being formed for the 2012 – 2013 season.  Last year’s season was a great success with 743 players competing on 75 teams ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade (both girls and boys).  This year we anticipate as many players returning, if not more with our new 9th grade division.

 Practices will begin in late November.  There will be 1 practice a week for grades K-2, & 2 practices a week for Grades 3rd and up.  League games will be played during the day on Saturdays beginning in January 2013.  Registration fees are: $125 for Residents & $144 for Non-residents. Register by October 26, 2012 to avoid a $20 late registration fee.

In addition to player sign-ups, Volunteer Coaches & Basketball Referees are needed & Business Sponsorship Opportunities are available. Do tell.

 Youth recreational sport programs offer a positive environment in which self-esteem grows & blossoms.  The Mill Creek Parks and Recreation Department is committed to offering quality programs at an affordable price.  To register or for more information, visit the City’s web site at www.cityofmillcreek.com or call the Recreation Department at (425) 745-1891.
