Tonka Rec Basketball League: Grades 1-2

Registration: Registrations will be accepted on a space-available basis through November 1. If registration is in "waitlist" status, it means that the registration deadline has passed and teams have been formed. Please complete the registration to be placed on the waitlist (you 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 the deadline and your child is placed on a team, a $30 late fee will be assessed, and teammate requests may not be available.

Fee: $135 if registered on or before November 1, $165 if registered after November 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 volunteer coaches, teammate requests, gender and grade level, and school attendance. Players may request to be placed on the same team as one other player when registering. Teammate requests will be considered, provided the player you request also requests you. Only one request per player is allowed. Please note that although we try to accommodate these 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. Coaches should be able to attend most Saturday practices/games. Please note your interest in coaching during the registration process.

Uniform: Players will receive a team t-shirt. Players should wear athletic clothing and non-marking gym shoes. Players are required to bring a basketball (1st Grade - Size 4 or 25.5"; 2nd Grade - Junior or 27.5") to each practice/game. Basketballs will be available for purchase at the Minnetonka Community Education Center starting in early fall.

Hoop Height: 8 Feet

Refunds: Refunds, minus a $10 cancellation fee, will be given for cancellations received on or before November 1.
