"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."- Theodore Roosevelt- 26th President of the United States, long time wrestler

Registration is now open for 2021-2022 Berkeley Heights girls’ in-town PAL recreation basketball.

The program is open to Berkeley Heights girls grades 3 through 5 and all ability levels are eligible to play. Every child that participates on a 4^th and 5^th grade Berkeley Heights travel basketball team is REQUIRED to register and play on an in-town team. You will need to register under both programs.  

There will be two leagues:

·         3^rd Grade Girls

Objective

The objective of the in-town recreational program is to introduce the game of basketball in an organized manner which will foster an environment of instruction and teamwork and promote safety and sportsmanship.

There are no tryouts to participate in the in-town PAL recreation program. All girls who register will be placed on a team. The goal is to place girls playing on a travel team equally amongst the number of teams in the respective grade level recreation program. Non-travel team girls will be assigned a team based on input from the Berkeley Heights girls’ commissioner and volunteer coaches with the goal to make the teams as fair and balanced as possible. At times, it may be necessary to redistribute girls to ensure the teams and games are as competitive as possible.

Commitment

Teams will play for one hour typically on Saturday morning, consisting of a short practice and a 40-minute game. The season will start in early December and run through the end of February or early March.

Registration

Registration will remain open through October  31^st. The participation fee for the program is $90.00. All players will receive a team jersey for participating. Please indicate your daughter's shirt size when registering.

Volunteer Opportunities

We need volunteer coaches and this program cannot succeed without your help. If you are interested in coaching, please be sure to indicate that while registering your daughter online.

Please take note: All girls grades 4^th and 5^th participating on a travel team are required to play in the In-town recreation league and attend 75 percent of the games or you cannot take a spot on a travel team. There will be no exceptions to this rule.
