Nether-Swarthmore Hoops Middle/High Divisions are for female and non-binary players in grades 6-8 and male players in grades 6-12.  We welcome players of all skill and ability levels in every division.

The Middle and High School Divisions will have player evaluations in early November and begin practices the week of November 18th. All registered players will be placed on a team; evaluations are designed to form teams that are equally balanced by skill and age.

Seven regular season games are scheduled throughout the season, with at least one playoff game. Girls 6-8 and Boys 6/7 will play on Saturdays with Girls 6-8 playing games at 9-11 am and Boys 6/7 playing games at 11 or 12pm – 3 pm. Boys 8/9 and Boys 10-12 will play on Sundays with Boys 8/9 playing games from 12-3 or 4 pm and Boys 10/12 playing games from 3-5 pm. No games or practices will be held during WSSD Winter Break, the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend, and Presidents’ Day holiday weekend.

EVALUATIONS: All players in grades 6-9 should attend evaluations which will be conducted by division commissioners and coaches. Dates will be posted in early November. Following evaluations, your player will be placed on a team and you will receive coach/practice/game information through Teamsnap.
