Reminder there are no games this weekend for the Basketball League. The schedule will be going out by Friday Jan 17th at noon for the next couple of weeks.
Please look for an additional email when the schedule is live.
We were just approved for an additional gym this weekend and as a result moved games around. Times should not be changed but location has been updated. This was done to provide a better experience by avoiding the use of an Auxiliary gym and to limit locations as much as possible to one court.
Please double check your schedule.
