This age group practices 1 or 2 nights per week and then most often play a game on Saturday afternoons. Practices are held at a local CMS gym or community partner church and generally 1 hour long. Kids at 14 & under play with a regulation 29.5" size ball and all games are played at these same venues. Players in this age group may have the option to create a squad that is self-organized or may be placed onto a team that seeks additional players. After Middle School try-outs in early November, these players / teams will get an opportunity to practice and finalize their squads before regular season games start. Team rosters are typically no more than 8 players max and each player must play 1 full quarter in each half. The quarters last 8 minutes. Age group eligibility is determined by your age on August 1 so children who were 13 or 14 as of August 1 are eligible.
**To reinforce the spirit of recreational basketball, any child who is already committed to their Middle School team (public or private schools) OR any AAU league are NOT eligible to participate at Park Sharon. Refunds will be offered on a pro-rata basis (less League costs incurred) should a player get identified as being ineligible after the Season begins.
