PSAA - Park Sharon Athletic Association

PSAA Basketball

Our co-ed basketball season runs from our initial sign up dates starting in late September through the regular season, playoff events and All-Star tournaments targeted to end no later than the first week of March. Boys and Girls ages 4 through 17 are all welcome. League age for our respective Divisions is determined based on the player's age as of August 1.

Practices start early November and run throughout the season for age divisions 8U thru 17U. There are holiday breaks in Nov & Dec and games then resume the first week of January. All age groups may have the opportunity to play teams from other Associations around the Charlotte community. 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 includes a 3-point contest and skills contests.

Financial assistance (scholarships) are available upon review with all inquiries directed to basketball@parksharonsports.com

Additional Information

Team Uniform jerseys will be provided and team names determined by Coach request.
A professional photographer takes individual and group pictures across 6U thru 12U with Photo Day currently targeted for Saturday Jan 13^th . There is no obligation to buy.
CMS school policy states that NO FOOD OR DRINK is allowed in the gyms. We can bend those rules a little if we clean up after ourselves. Please leave the gym cleaner than you found it!

We are always looking for coaches for all league levels. If you would like to volunteer, please email basketball@parksharonsports.com.
