A note on divisions: Divisions are based on the grade your player will be entering in the 2025-26 school year (e.g. current 2nd graders are 3rd graders for the summer league). In general, rising 5th graders should register for the Middle Division and rising 7th graders should register for the Upper Division, unless they are new to the sport and need a season of playing with and against younger players to build their skills and confidence. Rising 8th graders who have competitive basketball experience or who hope to play in high school may want to register for the high school division so they can play at a higher level of competition.
SEASON DATES: 6/16/2025 - 8/8/2025 (no games or practices 7/4)
TRAVELING THIS SUMMER? We know that some families may be traveling for part of the summer. We have a place on registration for you to indicate which week(s) your player will be unable to play. We will use this information to balance rosters so that teams are not short players on game days.
SCHEDULE: Teams play twice per week, weeknights only. In general, Lower Division practices and games will take place from 5:15-6:15 PM. Middle Division will play 6:15-7:15 PM. Upper Division will play 7:15-8:15 PM. High School division will play 8:15-9:15 PM. There may be some games scheduled for one hour earlier or later than the typical play time for a division (i.e. Middle Division teams may occasionally play games at 5:15 or 7:15 PM).
LOCATION: All games and practices take place in Petaluma at Lucchesi Park Clubhouse.
LEVEL: This is a recreational league. Players of all levels of experience are welcome to play.
GENDER: Co-Ed
TEAM FORMATION: In an effort to create balanced teams, we do not take friend requests for the summer league. Players will be evaluated during evaluation week. Coaches will use the evaluations to created teams of equivalent skill level. If players need to miss evaluations, parents can email the athletic director with information about their player’s skill level to help coaches know where to place their player.
