Winter league practices are one day a week Mon - Fri for each team. Games on Saturdays. Depending on the number of teams we do occasionally have the ability to offer a second practice to teams.
We have two weekends of practices on Nov 2-3 and Nov 9-10 with regular weekly practices starting on 11/11/24.
We have a scrimmage madness on the Saturday before thanksgiving where the coach, players and referees get a feel for what games are like. Each team will play 2 games that day.
The regular season of games begins on the first Saturday in December. All house league games are played on Saturdays (unless we have games to make up due to weather, in which case there may be games during the week). Travel teams play on Sundays.
We have playoffs that all teams participate in beginning on Monday February 24 (these games are during the week) with the championships on Saturday March 1 and an all-star game on Sunday March 2nd.

Something to think about while watching your son or daughter play in FSBL games this season:
1. This is a youth league and it's all about the kids.
2. Basketball is a team game.
3. Parents should cheer for everyone!
4. The referees are human and sometime make mistakes.
5. Your child is not a professional athlete playing for millions of dollars ..... yet!
If you disagree with these statements, please contact FSBL Commissioner, Craig Newman: commish@fsbl.org. He'd be happy to explain them to you!
Parents are required to notify the FSBL Board Of Directors, within forty-eight (48) hours, when their child is suspended or expelled from school. If the BOD is not notified within forty-eight (48) hours of any such suspension/expulsion, then upon discovery the child will be expelled from FSBL immediately for the remainder of the current season and the entire next season.
Your child's success or lack of success in sports does not indicate what kind of parent you are.
But having an athlete who is coachable, respectful, a great teammate, mentally tough, resilient and tries their best IS a direct reflection of your parenting.
FSBL 2024 Summer League refund requests should be submitted here. No refund requests will be accepted after June 1st for the FSBL Summer League!
If your son or daughter wears regular eye glasses to see like those pictured below, they are not permitted to be worn in practices or games in the FSBL. Before the season begins, please have your player fitted for a pair of RecSpecs or another brand of prescription sport goggles.
