Filcom Co-Ed Basketball Kids League registration is now open. The league will start at 10:00am on Saturdays, as gym availability permits, and will start in August 28, 2011.  Divisions will include Fifth Grade Boys and Girls, Sixth Grade Boys and Girls, and Seventh Grade Boys and Girls.  Divisions will be based on participation and may be combined at Filcom’s discretion.  All "mixed grade teams" will play in the division of their oldest player unless we have enough to make a "mixed age" division.  Rules and roster forms can be found on our website at www.filcomhoops.org.  Games will be 10 minute running clock per quarter with the clock stopping in the last one minute in the first half and last two minutes of the second half.  Cost is $80 per player.

Each division will be limited to 6 to 8 teams.  Be aware that more invitations have been sent out than available spots. The committee will make all final selections of participating teams.  Awards are limited to twelve players per team. 

Please email us at filcominfo@gmail.com if you have any questions or want to register a team.
