    About the High School Basketball League Program

    Rec & Ed is again offering its ever popular high school basketball program this winter.

    This year Rec & Ed will be forming two leagues for 9th/10th and 11th/12th graders. Spaces are limited.

    All games are played on Sunday afternoons in local middle and high school gyms. 

    The season will begin on Sunday, January 29 and will run six weeks, ending on March 12th. No game on Super Bowl Sunday.

    Every student plays as there are no tryouts or cuts.

    The season is approximately 7 weeks. Each team is given 6 games. 

    Teams can practice once a week beginning the week of January 23rd.

    Rec & Ed will send an email out in December with more information to team managers.

    If you have questions regarding the basketball program, please contact Willie at Rec & Ed, email pickvetw@a2schools.org.
