Registration
Adult
Registering a team for an upcoming league is easy. You simply fill out our registration form and pay the $100 non-refundable deposit. You then have your spot reserved for the upcoming league. It's up to you to assemble a team of players and provide shirts for your team in your assigned color. Each shirt must have a number on it.
Once the league begins, you will have one week to pay the rest of your league payment. If you fail to pay the remaining league fee within the first week, a $50 late fee will be assessed. After two weeks, the fee jumps to $100. If you fail to pay by the third week, your team is suspended. If your team fails to pay for a league, the team captain will be permanently barred from competing in any Stanton City Park league. The deposit is non-refundable and will not be returned.

Online registration for the Youth Basketball will run in the Spring. In-person dates will also be held at the Stanton City Park. The cost for the league is $50. This includes a shirt for their team or league.
