The House League Basketball for Junior High is for boys in grades 6-8 and girls in grades 5-8. The program emphasizes fun, equal participation for all players, development of athletic skills and sportsmanship.

Teams are comprised of 8-10 players engaging in practices, games and tournaments.

Registration opens in August and the program runs from November-February.

Visit our Player Registration page for more information on how to register and pay your league fee.

Tryouts for the Junior High program are typically held during the first part of October.  Coaches and teams will be confirmed and formed by the end of October. 

Please see the Tryouts/Player Evals page for more detailed information regarding this process.

Teams are formed through a draft pick process, so requests for certain coaches and/or players to be on the same team will not be honored.

Games are held weekly on Saturdays from December through February.

The Junior High program is part of a community league that competes against other teams from Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center as well as Osseo/Maple Grove, Champlin/Dayton and Rogers.
