  • Participants must be registered for the program to attend Evaluation Sessions. Participants must attend least 2 of the 3 pre-season evaluation sessions for their age-group.

Coaches Needed

Coaches and assistant coaches are needed each year for our teams. The basketball league has about 28 teams each year, and it wouldn't be successful without the dedication, knowledge and time given to the program by all of our amazing volunteers.

If you are interested in coaching, please indicate so when registering your child or contact us. If you do not have a player in the league or would like to contact us to coach, please email recreation@northamptonma.gov.
