Winter Season

K-2nd grade option presented by Hoopfest

What is the Winter Season?

A K-2nd grade league created for teams looking to continue practicing and playing games after the HYL season ends December 7th. Parents and coaches will work together to form teams. Most commonly, HYL volunteer coaches will see if their team would like to continue playing. If some, but not enough players want to continue, then HYL coaches will need to find other HYL teams to combine with to form a new team. Note: this is only for K-2. Different then the HYL regular season, TEAMS WILL BE FORMED BY COACHES AND WILL REGISTER AS A TEAM NOT INDIVIDUALLY.

How to Form a Team & register

  • HYL Coaches determine if their Fall team would like to continue playing.
  • If some, but not enough players want to continue, contact other HYL coaches to combine with another team or to pick up additional players of the same grade.
  • Coaches will register their team and remit payment on Crossbar (same HYL registration site as the Fall League) and collect the team fees from each player.
  • There is no individual player registration, parents should reach out to coaches or other parents to find a team.
  • Games will run in the same fashion as the fall season, coaches referee, parents clock operate, 8' baskets, etc.
  • There is no charge for practice gyms based on availability from most, it not all participating school districts.
