FCO Sports Basketball Co-Ed League (2024-2025)

Basketball season is upon us and now is the time to register! Registration opens on 10/02/2024 and closes on 11/30/2024! Last year we had 325 players and anticipate even more this year. The league is available for players 3-18 years old. The eligibility age is determined based on the player’s age as of 12/31/2024.

Note: Players who play for school teams in 8th grade or below can participate in this league. So no reason not to register for both! 

Currently we are planning an 8 game season for the 3/4 and the 5/6 year old's played on Saturdays starting on 01/04/2025 and going through 02/22/2025. The 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14 and the 15-18 age groups will play an 8 game schedule starting on Saturday 01/04/2025 and the league will run through our tournament ending on or before 03/08/2025.

Again in 2024-2025 all divisional age groups will be Co-Ed.

Age groups are 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14 & 15-18 year old's. Last year due to our final registration numbers we ended up playing 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 11-14 Middle School and 15-18 High School. The make-up of age groups could change depending upon the number of players registered in each age group.

All players who sign up will be placed on a team.

All registrations will be taken online this season through the FCO website at www.ferncreekoptimist.org starting on October 02rd, 2024.
