Basketball
The Fitzgerald-Ben Hill Department of Leisure Services offers basketball for boys and girls ages 7-14 (age prior to January 1).
Registration begins the first week of November and ends the first Friday in December. For Ben Hill County residents, the registration fee is $50/child ($60/child non-resident). The registration fee includes team jersey, officials, scorekeepers, and basketballs. Parents will need to provide athletic shorts and shoes (rubber soles only).
If registering after the deadline, a $10 late fee will be incurred. At that point, your child may be placed on a waitlist and may or may not be placed on a team based on available spaces. No payment will be collected until your child is placed on a team.
Team practices begin in December with regular season games played January-February. Games and practices are held at the Ben Hill Elementary & Primary School gyms. GRPA District competition is the last weekend in February and State competition is the first weekend in March.
You can make a difference in your community by volunteering to be a coach for a youth basketball team.
