PSAA Basketball

DSG Winter Shopping Weekend is 10/24-10/27

Our co-ed basketball season runs from late Oct thru February with initial player registration sign up dates starting in early September!! Practice sessions, sanctioned regular season games, playoff events and All-Star tournaments occur during this time period with all activity ending no later than the first week of March. Boys and Girls ages 4 through 17 are all welcome!!

League eligibility is determined for each of our respective Divisions by the player's age as of August 1^st. Be sure to check out the profile description for each Age Division by navigating to that specific webpage under ‘Programs’.

Practices for 8U-17U start early November and run throughout the season. There are holiday breaks in Nov & Dec with games/practice then resuming the first week of January. All age groups may have the opportunity to play teams from other Associations around the Charlotte community, depending on the # of PSAA squads. All age groups, except the 6U Instructional League, play an end-of-the-year tournament which always holds a lot of excitement! Our end of year tournament also often includes a 3-point contest and skills contests for the younger age groups.

Financial assistance (scholarships) are available upon review. All inquiries should be directed to scholarship@parksharonsports.com for consideration!

Additional Information

Team jerseys will be provided and team names are determined by Coach request.
A professional photographer takes individual and group pictures across 8U thru 12U with Photo Day typically targeted for a Saturday in January. There is never an obligation to buy.
CMS school policy states that NO FOOD OR DRINK is allowed in the gyms. Please leave the gym cleaner than you found it!
