Rec Registration is CLOSED!
If you have any questions after reading about our Rec Program below, please contact WBA Rec Director Kaileb Hahmeyer at [email protected].
Our Mission: Our Rec Program is a competitive, fun program designed for players of all experience levels who would like to continue to develop their skills, but in a less intensive environment than Select Basketball. For players at the 3rd Grade Level, our program offers an introduction to a focused, competitive experience. All players that register for the Rec Program by the deadline will be placed on a team! The WBA's teams typically play in the South Metro Recreational League (SMRL) against other teams from Wilsonville as well as teams from West Linn, Tualatin, Sherwood, Canby, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Putnam and Milwaukie.
Registration: For Grades 3 through 8, registration for Rec basketball will open on October 1, 2023. The deadline for registration is Sunday, October 29, 2023. Online registration is required so we ask that you complete your registration as soon as possible. Your child will not be allowed to enter the gym on Skills Evaluation Day without being registered.
Skills Evaluation Day: All players are encouraged to attend our Skills Evaluation Day at Meridian Creek Middle School on October 30th 2023 (Girls), November 1st 2023 (Boys) . This is NOT a tryout. Every child who properly registers will be placed on a team.
The purpose of this session is to assess each player's skill level by participating in simple group drills, in order to help us make evenly-balanced teams. Requests to form specific teams or to be assigned with other specific players or coaches will not be honored. We guarantee this will be a fun, no-pressure session. The skills assessments will not be shown to anyone other than those selecting the teams. Parents are welcome to stay and watch the evaluations. Here are the tentative times when your player(s) should show up:

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early so you can check in.
Coaches: Our Rec basketball teams are coached entirely by parent volunteers from each team. If you are interested in helping us as a coach, registering is the first step. Please fill out the Coaches Registration Form on the Registration page by choosing volunteer - coach on the registration form. If you have indicated your interest in coaching through our online registration, you will be contacted by email by our President, Nicholas Emmett.
Fees: The cost is $175 and can be paid with debit card/credit card. The fee covers all practices, games and a uniform. Partial scholarship assistance is available, and can be discussed with the WBA President prior to Skills Assessment Day.
Team Assignments: Teams will be formed after the Skills Assessment Day and posted publicly on our website no later than November 11th. You will also receive an e-mail regarding which team your child has been placed on. Your coach will be contacting you with more specific information about practices and games as we get closer to the beginning of the season. General practice and game info will also be sent from your child's coach. If a coach has not already volunteered for your team when the team is formed, parents from the created team will be asked to volunteer to create a coaching staff.
