  • When/where will practices and games be held?

    • We aim to hold practices twice a week, Monday-Friday for 1 hour.  The gym will be closed whenever schools are closed for holidays.  
    • Start times can be anywhere from 6:15-8:15 pm, depending on coach and gym availability.  The younger divisions usually get earlier start times.
    • Practices will take place at Unionville Elementary School Gym. 
    • Games are generally on Saturdays, with the possibility of a few exceptions due to school closures.
    • Home games are usually played at Piedmont High School or Unionville Elementary School Gym
    • We generally play against South Union, Parkwood, Union Academy, Porter Ridge, Indian Trail, and Monroe.  Some of these associations play in-house only in some divisions.  

  • Can I request specific practice times?

    Unfortunately, specific practice day or time requests cannot be accommodated. The schedule will be determined by the coach based on gym availability.

  • Can I request a teammate for carpooling purposes?

    We will not honor requests for players to be on a team together. This is the only way to ensure competitive balance. 

  • My son/daughter will be trying out for the school team. What should I do?

    Middle School players can play both School and Rec league basketball.  High School players cannot. 


    For Middle School Players: Our suggestion is to register them. The school does not guarantee playing time, and every year we receive requests to join after the season starts.
