The Intramural Basketball Program will be taking place in April & May for our Girls League grades 8-12 and our Boys League grades 10-12 only this Spring. All games will be played at Upper Dublin High School. Games will be played every Sunday, some Saturdays, and some weeknights. The details will depend on what type of registration we receive. Registration will open on March 1 for a period of two weeks.

There will be a few mandatory rules in place:

• Every player will be required to wear a mask during the game, both while playing and on the sideline.

• There will be security at our games to help enforce this issue. If parents are allowed into the games, they will be required to wear a mask as well, or they will not be let in.

• If players have played on their school's Varsity or JV Girls or Boys Basketball teams this past season, they are ineligible to play in this year's intramural program.

If any student plans on participating in another weekend sports program while basketball is occurring, please let us know when signing up (there is a place to add that on the registration form), so the coaches who are drafting can see if there might be a conflict. Also, if any parent is interested in coaching, please make note of that when registering your child.

Due to scheduling conflicts with other sports and space restrictions in the district, we were not able to arrange a Spring league for the younger divisions. We hope to have everything back to normal in the Fall. Thank you for your understanding.
