COACHING: Nether-Swarthmore Hoops is run by parent coaches.  We will open limited registration and then open up more teams/ spots as we have enough volunteers to run the program.  Want to guarantee your child a spot and help make the program a success?  Volunteer to coach and/or commission when you sign up!  Never coached before?  We can help.  We’ll send you a weekly practice plan. We do our best to create pairs or teams of coaches so that it’s not a big deal if you can’t make a practice or a game. If you have questions, please reach out to Amy@SwarthmoreRecreation.org.

REGISTRATION FEE: $160, registration opens November 07, 2022, at 9:00AM and closes December 18, 11:59PM, early bird registration opens for coaches on October 31. By registering during the Early Bird registration (before November 07), you are agreeing to coach a team.

WAITLIST: We do our best to take every player who wishes to play, but we can only host as many teams as we have volunteers to coach. We will open our registration to capacity then open a waitlist, pending having enough coaches. WE ARE ALMOST ALWAYS ABLE TO TAKE EVERY PLAYER ON THE WAITLIST. The best way to ensure that your child plays is to volunteer to coach. Come ensure the continuation of the league, spend time with your player, and be part of the FUN!

Please review our refund policy before you sign up.
