Evaluations
Evaluations will be grouped by age. Each player and cheerleader must attend one evaluation designated for their specific age group in order to play.
Basketball players should wear tennis shoes. Cheerleaders may attend any of the scheduled dates. See the Upcoming Events section below for evaluation dates and times.
2025-2026 Registration
Every player and cheerleader must be registered ONLINE before attending evaluations. No new registrations will be accepted at evaluations.
Registration will be open from October 1 to noon on November 8, 2025, or until a division is full. Some leagues fill up quickly, so register early!
