Greetings, parents!

Registration for the 2026 season is officially closed.

Key Season Info:

• 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 middle of March. For 4th grade and above, playoffs will tip off in early March. Non-playoff teams play 10 games while playoff teams play 8 + single-elimination playoffs, generally one or two games per week.
• Vacation Breaks: We will follow the Hermosa/Manhattan Beach school calendar for vacation breaks.
• More save-the-dates: We'll have our uniform pickup in early December, and team/individual photos will be in early February.
• Friday Night Hoops: Our second annual community night will be Friday, January 9 at Hermosa Valley School. Bring the family for some glow in the dark pickup hoops, watch the older divisions battle in the gym, get some new HBYB merch, and grab dinner outside the gym. Last year was epic and it's only getting awesomer!

• Playoff March Madness!: Our playoff divisions will play a week-long single-elimination tournament that culminates in two Championship evenings in March. Last season we had 4 championship battles that were within 3 points with minutes to go and one absolute bonkers buzzer beater for the ages in Boys 5th Grade. These nights are going to be ELECTRIC!

• 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.
