There are many reasons this is so popular. We have fantastic volunteer coaches that come back year after year. Athletes come to have fun, improve their skills, and play basketball. Our program focuses on having fun, building relationships, and improving skills more than winning games. Teams are formed by student attendance area. This means our youth athletes play with the children in their neighborhood and their schools.

Teams are formed by student attendance area, enrollment numbers, and available coaches. We have youth that enroll from all over Oregon City and surrounding areas, which means not all of our players attend OCSD public schools. Our goal is for your child to play with the children in their neighborhood and their schools to the greatest extent possible. However, teams are often blended by schools and locations. Even though you register under your child’s school of attendance this does not mean there will only be children from that school. It also does not mean practices will be at that school. Please read the next question below for additional information.

Practices can happen at any of our elementary and/or middle schools in Oregon City School District. The practice schedule and locations are more complex. Factors that influence the practice location and times are building availability, coach availability, players’ school of attendance, and district needs.

Your athlete will make new friends and have fun while growing their basketball skills. Practices are twice a week and games are always on Saturday mornings. Information regarding practice times, locations, and coach will be sent out 3 days to 1 week prior to the first week of practice. Families, be on the lookout for an email from your coach 3 days to one week before practice begins. These emails often end up in the spam/junk folder.

Elementary games are typically held at Gaffney Lane Elementary.

Complete refunds or credits are given if enrollment is too low to support the formation of another team. Without enough volunteer coaches, we may need to cancel a team and, if that is the case, a full refund will also be issued. Partial refunds are available before the season begins. no refunds are given once the season starts. Some hardship exceptions apply and are at the discretion of the Community Education Department. Most refunds are issued as a credit to the credit card on file or mailed. The refund process may take up to two weeks.
