The Bend Park and Recreation District is registering now for pre-teens and teens who want to play basketball this winter. Middle school girls basketball and a co-ed high school basketball league are registering now and the season will run from January to late February 2025.
Middle school girls basketball league
This joint program between the Bend-La Pine Schools and BPRD emphasizes individual and team skill development, maximum participation, good sportsmanship and fun.
This program is open to all grades 6 – 8 youth for the 2024 – 25 school year who live in the Bend-La Pine Schools district. Teams practice during the week, games played on weeknights.
High school basketball league
This co-ed league is open to any high school student who is not playing on a high school basketball team. This is a recreational league where players serve as team captains. Staff keep league standings and have playoffs to end the season.
“If you’re a high schooler who loves basketball or is looking for something to keep you active this winter, this league is for you,” said Becky Rexford, sports program and athletic fields manager.
