REC BASKETBALL SEASON SAFETY PROTOCOLS

Thank you for registering in our Tonka Rec Basketball program. We are excited for a great season of learning and fun!

LEAGUE PLAY AND SCHEDULE

Minnetonka schools teams will compete against teams from Wayzata, Hopkins and Edina. Teams practice once per week beginning the week of December 7. Sunday games at surrounding communities begin January 3, followed by an end of the season tournament the weekend of March 13 and 14. All games will have two professional referees. Players will receive a reversible jersey.

PLEASE NOTE: If players register for both the Intramural Boys League and the Southwest Basketball League, the scheduler cannot guarantee that practices and games will not conflict.

SCHEDULE

Coaches, players and parents will be emailed the game schedule by December 22. 

TEAM FORMATION

Southwest League rules require that all teams be formed evenly (no stacked teams). Friend requests are honored only if both players have requested each other. Due to the equal teams rule, we may not be able to honor all friend requests. Players who register late will be placed onto a team based on roster openings while maintaining an evenly skilled team. 

COACHES

All teams require a volunteer coach who can attend all practices and games. If you are interested in coaching, please indicate your desire on your son’s registration. You will also need to complete a brief volunteer background check online at: http://www.minnetonkaschoolsschools.org/district/departme... There are a maximum of two coaches per team.
