SFX Basketball – 2025-26 – Tournament Schedule
Registration is NOW OPEN for the SFX Basketball 2025-26 Winter Basketball League!
Our Winter Basketball League is a recreational league, for children ages 7-17, and we welcome players of all skill levels and experience.
We have both Co-Ed and Girls divisions. Girls who would like to play on both a Co-Ed and Girls team may do so by registering for each separately.
Our Co-Ed divisions will be as follows:
- Rookie Co-Ed (ages 7-8)
- Novice Co-Ed (ages 9-10)
- Bantam Co-Ed (ages 11-12)
- Juniors Co-Ed (ages 13-14)
- Seniors Co-Ed (ages 15-17)
Our Girls divisions will be as follows:
- Rookie Girls (ages 7-8)
- Novice Girls (ages 9-10)
- Bantam Girls (ages 11-12)
- Juniors Girls (ages 13-15)
The age cutoff for divisions is as of December 1, 2025.
We need coaches and volunteers! If you would like to coach (either head coach or assistant coach) or volunteer in some other capacity, please contact Perry Solomon, SFX Basketball Coordinator at perry@sfxys.com.
Our basketball program, as with all SFX Youth Sports programs, is entirely volunteer-run, so please volunteer to help make this a great season for your children.
When you register, you can indicate whether you would like for your child to play with specific friends and/or a coach. For our Winter League, we DO NOT hold tryouts and players of all abilities are welcome. If your child has played with SFX Basketball in the past and you want to request to be assigned to the same team or coach, please indicate this when you register. We will do our best to honor requests to be placed with a coach or friend, but may need to re-assign players for competitive balance once the season begins. Also, we do not hold spaces on teams or in the league, so once we are full, we can’t place your child on a team.
When you register your child as a player and/or yourself as a coach, assistant coach or parent volunteer, you agree to follow the SFX Code of Conduct, the SFX Youth Sports Principles and the Parent/Guardian Expectations. If you, or any guests you bring to any SFX Youth Sports activity, demonstrate any behavior inconsistent with the Parent/Guardian Expectations, this will lead to disciplinary action, WHICH MAY INCLUDE YOU AND/OR YOUR CHILD(REN) BEING REMOVED FROM THE PROGRAM. PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE REGISTERING – THIS COVERS INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER PLAYERS, COACHES AND REFEREES – THERE WILL BE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANY VIOLATION OF THESE EXPECTATIONS.
IMPORTANT SCHEDULE INFORMATION
Our season will begin in December and run through the end of March.
Our Rookie (Co-Ed and Girls) and Novice (Co-Ed and Girls) Divisions will play an 11-game schedule. There is no end-of-season tournament / playoffs for these divisions.
Our Bantam (Co-Ed and Girls), Juniors (Co-Ed and Girls) and Seniors Divisions will play a 10-game schedule, followed by division tournaments.
Later in November or early December, we will send details on the timing for the beginning of the season, including team assignments, practice/game schedules and other important dates.
We schedule games on Saturdays and Sundays (typically 1 game per weekend) at gyms in Park Slope, Prospect Heights and surrounding areas. However, to accommodate all interested players, we may schedule weeknight games. These games would start no earlier than 5:00PM and end by 8PM (9PM on Fridays). When you register, please be aware that your child may have games on a weeknight during the season.
Please also be aware that we will likely schedule games over the NYC public school February break (but not Presidents’ Weekend) and the private school March spring break. We will not be able to accommodate requests to reschedule games during these periods.
Subject to space, teams may have the option to practice weeknights, with the exact date/time determined by the coach once teams are assigned. Even if your child can’t attend a weeknight practice, it is fine to sign up for the league and play the games.
