Registration for Winter 2025 is closed!

[updated on October 3, 2024 at 10:00pm]

Greetings, parents!

Registration for the upcoming season closed on September 30th. Spaces were limited and many divisions filled up well before the deadline, so thanks to all who are participating this season! For the time being, we will leave the link up and allow parents to register their children for our waitlists. You never know if someone will drop!

New Player Evaluation Day: October 12th, 2025 at Hermosa Valley Gym

Our next milestone for the upcoming season is Player Evaluation Day on Saturday, October 12th at Hermosa Valley School Gym. For the first time, you do not have to attend if your child played last season. But if your child is new to HBYB or missed this past 2024 season, please drop in during your scheduled timeslot so we can get a better sense of your child’s skill level. We do our best to create competitive teams, and evaluations like this go a long way in making that happen.

Schedule:

  • 10-11a:
    • Boys kindergarten, Boys 2nd, Boys 4th, Boys 5th
  • 11a-12p:
    • Boys 1st, Boys 3rd, Boys 6th, Boys 7th/8th
  • 12-1p:
    • Girls kindergarten/1st, Girls 2nd/3rd, Girls 4th/5th, Girls 6th/7th/8th

Details:

  1. Location is Hermosa Valley School: 1645 Valley Dr, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
  2. There are no makeup evaluations. Please do your best to attend. If you need to miss because of Yom Kippur, we understand. In that instance, we will reach out and do our best to gauge your child’s skill level.
  3. Waitlisted players should not attend. 
  4. Check-in outside the gym. Your child will wear a numbered sticker on their back for identification.
  5. Bring your own basketball if you can. Unfortunately, we won’t have enough for everybody.
  6. Evaluations do take a bit of time. We hope you won’t need to wait very long, but there might be lines, especially for the younger grades. You can leave as soon as your child is done with their evaluation!

Important Information for the Season

  • Participants: Boys and girls, Kindergarten through 8th Grade.
  • Practices: Teams start practicing in December and are allowed 1 one-hour practice per week. Practice day/time is determined by the coaches of each team, not the league.
  • Games: Games will run from early January to the end of March. For 4th grade and above, playoffs will tip off in mid-March. We aim to have 8-10 games, generally one game per week. Game schedules are not determined until teams are set. Normally younger Boys divisions (2nd grade and below) play on Saturdays and younger Girls divisions play on Sundays. Other divisions will depend upon the number of teams, etc.
  • Evaluation Day: Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 12. Each division will have a designated time slot for evaluations. This year evaluations are only required for new players. NOTE: For new families that cannot make the 12th due to Yom Kippur, please contact us as we’ll be running a small as-needed session on Sunday the 13th.
  • Coaching Volunteers Needed: We need parents to volunteer to coach in each division. There’s a section in the registration to sign up. Our coaches are the backbone of the league, and we deeply appreciate your willingness to help make this season a success.
  • Vacation Breaks: We will follow the Hermosa/Manhattan Beach school calendar for vacation breaks.
  • More save-the-dates: We'll have our uniform pickup and team-meet on December 15th, and team/individual photos will be on February 1 & 2.
  • Exciting New Experiences: This year, we’re adding even more extracurricular activities and experiences for our players. Beyond learning the game during practices and games, we’re committed to creating additional opportunities for fun and growth. Let’s make this season the best yet!
  • Refunds: Up until the time your player is placed on a team, you can request a full refund if the rules around Covid have changed and you decide against playing. But once your child is placed on a team you have committed to the season and full refunds will not be possible.
