Basketball is back at SHCC!
We are partnering with the Stratford Schools and Stratford Rec to bring you a league this year. Even though it will look different with some limitations, our objective is to get our youth back on the court being physical and playing with their peers and teammates.
Teams are formed by grade with the following divisions:
Grades 3 & 4 | Grades 5 & 6 | Grades 7 & 8
If you feel your child is capable of playing in an older division, it is encouraged. Players are not allowed to play in a lower division than their current age and those still in middle school cannot play “up” in the high school division.
Registration Begins in the Fall of 2021
Late registrants will be placed on a waitlist and incur a $20 late fee.
Fee: $115
