Recreation League (Girls and Boys Ages 5-12): An entirely volunteer-led Recreation Basketball league that offers fun, yet competitive, instructional/developmental team basketball concepts to players. The season consists of 1-hour practice weekly on a weekday afternoon/evening and league games on weekends in our Northside gym and/or the Family Life Center gym.
Our Northside Church league begins the season in November with our player evaluations and coaches drafts in order to provide parity in the league. You may request to play with a friend but we cannot guarantee all requests.
