Girls coaches may request Saturday/Sunday games as registration allows . Games consist of four 6-minute quarters and game clock stops on all whistles in accordance with high school basketball rules. Players on teams with 10 or fewer participants are required to play a minimum of 10 minutes per game. Players on teams of 11 or more are required to play 8 minutes per game.

  • Teams will play 1 postseason match-up game.
  • Games will be played throughout the Shawnee Mission School District, Olathe School District, and City Center Fitness (17450 W 87th St Lenexa, KS 66219)
  • The goal height is 9 feet.
  • Ball size for boys is 28.5

  • Third grade players are provided a jersey as part of their registration fee as well as a participant award.
  • Third grade teams may request to wear their own jersey. All requests must be submitted to [email protected] by the registration deadline.

We recommend that when you register your child for the fall program, select to PAY BY CHECK. This completes the registration at that time, but does not require you to pay the registration fee.  That fee can be paid prior to the start of the season.

Late Registration Process

Are you already on a coaches/team roster (have a team)


Register through our wait list and you will be notified when you have been activated and will be placed on your team roster.  An email will be automatically generated to let you know that you have been placed on the team and can now pay your registration fee.  After you register on the waitlist, it could take up to 48 hours for us to update rosters.  


Don’t have a team, but would like to play this winter


Register through our wait list and you will be notified as soon as we find a team that fits with your athlete.  All participants who registered before the deadline will be placed on teams before we start placing children from the waitlist.  If your child is placed, you will be notified via email that you can now complete your registration payment to officially be listed on a roster.  If for some reason we cannot find your child a team, we will notify you via email by October 30.  We do our best to place everyone on a team but cannot guarantee it.
