Tonka Rec Basketball League: Kindergarten
Saturday practices/games are 1-hour in length, with varying start times between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at Groveland Elementary. Important Dates December 1: Registration Deadline |
Registration: Registrations will be accepted on a space-available basis until December 1. If registration is in "waitlist" status, it means the regular registration deadline has passed and teams likely have been formed. Please complete the registration to be placed on the waitlist (your credit card will not be charged unless you are placed on a team). You will be contacted if we are able to get your child on a team. If you register after December 1 and your child is placed on a team, a $30 late fee will be assessed, and player requests may not be available.
Fee: $115 if registered on or before December 1. $145 if registered after December 1.
Open Gym: New this year, we are offering an open gym package for anyone participating in our rec basketball program. This will cost an additional $30 to your registration fee but will allow you to have an unlimited pass to attend all our open gym sessions during the fall and winter months. The usual charge is $5 per person during each session; however, if you register with the open gym package, it will be at a significant discount. This offer is only available to our rec basketball participants. We have 17 sessions of open gym scheduled running on Wednesdays from October 21st to March 3rd (excl. Nov. 25, Dec. 23 & 30). Open gym will be held at Groveland Elementary inside the bleacher gym from 6 – 8 PM.
Team Formation: Teams will be formed based on the availability of volunteer coaches, teammate requests and school groupings. One teammate request will be honored, provided the player you request also requests you. Please note that although we try to accommodate requests, they are not guaranteed.
Coaches Needed!: Have fun coaching your son or daughter and teammates! You'll be provided practice plans, support and training, including a preseason virtual meeting and an in-person coach clinic. Coaches should be able to attend most Saturdays, and we like to have at least 2 coaches per team. Please note your interest in coaching during the registration process.
Uniform: Players will receive a team t-shirt & basketball to bring each Saturday. Players should wear athletic clothing and non-marking gym shoes.
Hoop Height: 8 Feet
Ball Size: Size 4 (25.5") Participants are gifted a ball to use and to keep.
Refunds: Refunds, minus a $10 cancellation fee, will be given for cancellations received on or before December 1. After this date, refunds will be issued only in the case of illness or injury.
