How Teams are Formed
There are no tryouts required to participate in Recreational basketball. Following registration, Little Miami forms teams with the goal of creating balanced rosters for players across each grade level.
Â
Team formation may consider registration numbers and coaching availability. Specific teammates, coaches, or roster placements cannot be guaranteed.
Â
Players who participate in Athletic tryouts but are not selected for an Athletic Team are encouraged to register for a Recreational Team and continue developing throughout the season.
