League Details

View current Schedules and Standings

League Length
  • Winter, Spring, Fall: 9-weeks

  • Summer: 8-weeks

All teams play once a week on the day they select when registering.

Typical Game Times
  • Evening Leagues: 6pm to 10:30pm

  • Afternoon/Evening Leagues: 4pm to 10:30pm

While our leagues are self-officiated, there is a Games Coordinator onsite to help manage equipment, time and scores. Games consist of two, 25-minute halves and a 5-minute half-time, and bookings are typically 1 hour long.

5 on 5 - Co-ed

Games are played 5 on 5 with a minimum of two female players on the court.

5 on 5 - Women's

Games are played 5 on 5 in this women's only format.

5 on 5 - Open - Draft

INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATIONS ONLY! Register solo and participate in a live draft at the beginning of the season to find your team. In this format, your registration includes a pre-season draft party as well as new team t-shirts for the season, and everyone is welcome regardless of skill or gender.

5 on 5 - Open - Masters

Are you 40+? Our Masters format is built for people 40 years of age or older! Games are played 5 on 5 with no specific gender requirements.

Divisions are based on the experience and skills of a team - not on their competitive behaviour! No matter what skill level you register for, all players are expected to play with a 'fun-first, winning-second' attitude.

Please note that the below divisions may not be offered every season or day. If you have any questions about the different skill levels or where to place yourself, just call us!

Recreational

This division is for teams who are newer to the sport, or teams that consist of a mix of experienced and inexperienced players. Some players may still be learning the rules of Basketball, meaning the flow of the game will not always be natural. If the majority of players are experienced and skilled, then the team should move up to a higher level if available.

Recreational Plus

This division is for teams with mainly experienced Basketball players. The flow of the game will be quicker than the Recreational division as there will be fewer stoppages and rule clarifications. Players can shoot, dribble and pass with accuracy, and the team is looking for more of a challenge than the Recreational level. Not all players in this division are highly skilled, but players are experienced and knowledgeable in the sport.
