Registration Information:

  • PLEASE REGISTER BY OCTOBER 20th to avoid the $20 late fee! Registration closes after October 25th as we compile registration forms into late fall and group together athletes to create teams based on player and coach availability, age, as well as skill level to keep the teams as even as possible.  Each season is different due to this, and we appreciate your patience as we work together to not leave any child behind so all can participate in practices and games that fit their schedule. 
  • We request players choose between PARPC Recreational Basketball and their school team and do not play both.
  • NO LATE REGISTRATIONS ACCEPTED AFTER OCTOBER 25TH. No exceptions. Register early as there is limited availability this season!
