INDIVIDUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION: Kindergarten-8th grade • Register an individual participant by selecting the practice location and day of the week. • Individual players are not guaranteed to be placed on the same team from season to season. TEAM REGISTRATION: Available only for 3rd grade-8th grade players • One participant will represent the entire team during the initial registration. • A basketball coordinator will contact that team’s representative to determine practice time and location. • Team representative will be assigned a unique team registration code that can then be shared with the other team members after the initial registration. All team members will be required to sign the waiver and register online using the unique code. • The number of available team registration slots will be based on facility availability. As a reminder, the Naperville Youth Basketball program is a recreation-based activity and not a competitive league. If you are seeking a higher level of competition for your youth athlete, we encourage you to find a program that provides the experience you desire. Registration is available for individual players at all grade levels and TEAM registration is available only for participants in 3rd-8th grade. Each season new teams are formed and grouped as specified below. Due to varying skill levels, participants that register as a team will play in a different division as those teams that signed up as an individual.
PARTICIPANTS ARE ASKED TO REGISTER OR WAITLIST FOR ONE TEAM ONLY Practice gym space is extremely limited and difficult to schedule. As we work through the scheduling it is essential for Park District staff to understand the full scope of the waitlists. For this reason, if we find a registrant on both a waitlist and registered as part of a team, the registrant will be removed immediately from the waitlist. Volunteer Coaches Adult volunteer coaches are needed for each team in the league. Please note that early registration is available for coaches in good standing for the next season.

INFORMATION FOR ALL BASKETBALL DIVISIONS
All players are required to wear the league’s reversible blue and white jersey. Any player who does not have the league jersey or needs to replace theirs must purchase one for an additional fee; jerseys can be purchased at the Fort Hill Activity Center, 20 Fort Hill Drive. School sites for practices are determined by the Park District. As not every school is available, some teams may practice at a neighboring school rather than at the school attended by team members. Although a weekly practice is scheduled for each team, it is not guaranteed as it is dependent on the facility’s availability.
