Youth Basketball Program 2025-26 Season
The Bexley Recreation & Parks Department is proud to continue to offer youth basketball leagues for the 2025-26 season! Programs are offered for boys and girls ages 5 - 14. Volunteer coaches are needed for all age groups! If you have any questions regarding any of our leagues, please contact Andrew Rude at arude@bexley.org or (614) 559-4304.

Kindergarten Madness & Rookies Leagues (Boys/Girls)
These leagues will learn the basic fundamentals and skills of basketball, play games, and have fun all while enjoying the sport! The hoops will be lowered to an appropriate height for all ages. Practices will be once/week (Sundays). Once games begin in December, teams will have 20 minutes allocated for practice at the start, with the remaining time dedicated to play.

Semi-Pro & Pro Leagues (Boys/Girls)
These leagues will learn fundamentals, basic team plays and concepts all while enjoying the sport! Practices will be twice/week (one weekday and Sundays) before games begin in December and then will drop to one practice/week during the week once games begin. 

Tim Stowe League (Boys 7th-8th)
This league is for players living in Bexley or surrounding areas, who are not members of a school team.  The focus will be on improving the player’s skills that are needed at the Middle School level.  Teams will have set practice times, play six regular season games, and conclude with a postseason tournament.

NEW Girls 7th-8th Grade Team
We're currently exploring options for a fun and competitive basketball experience for 7th and 8th grade girls in our community. If your child is interested in playing, please register online. We'll follow up with more details as plans are finalized.
