Dear TJBL community, 

We are pleased to open basketball registration for the 2021-2022 season on September 1st for a season set to start December 1, 2021.   We are accepting non-refundable registrations for players residing in Tiverton, RI and Westport, MA who are interested in recreational basketball.  

Travel basketball/competitive registration will be held at a later date.  It is the expectation of TJBL that players who will be selected to play travel basketball will also be playing recreation basketball.  

The registration deadline for TJBL recreation is October 15th, 2021.  Registrations after October 15th will only be accepted based on space availability.    

Recreation League Divisions: 

Instructional league- ages 6-7 year old girls and boys 

Boys C Division-ages 8-9 

Boys B Division-ages 10-11 

Boys A Division -ages 12-14 (Please note we have expanded A division this year for 14 year olds who wish for a recreational experience and who are not playing on other competitive teams)

Senior Girls-ages 12,13,14

Senior Girls-ages 12-14 (Please note we have expanded Senior Girls this year for 14 year olds who wish for a recreational experience and who are not playing on other competitive teams)

We can share the following details at this point.  

Recreational League 

• We are still unsure about access to Tiverton Public Schools at this time due to COVID-19. This may limit the amount of playing time we can offer and drastically increases the cost to play at the same time.  
• We will secure some court time at Longplex in Tiverton, RI.  We anticipate at least 10 hours of playing time total for each player inclusive of practice/games.  We do not know the exact days/times of games and practices at this time.   
• We must abide by all State of RI Rules regarding COVID safety. If we play at Longplex, we will also follow their guidelines. If we use any gym space in the Tiverton Public Schools, we will need to abide by their rules.  These rules are subject to change at any time during the season and are not controlled by TJBL.  The use of masks may be required for players, coaches and spectators.  More information will be provided closer to the season.  
• Registration will be the same rate as last year ($135 for single player,$165 for two children, $175 for three or more children) and we will ask that families participate in one fundraiser.      
• We will not be able to offer refunds for individual reasons under any circumstances. This means if you or your family member needs to quarantine or becomes ill, we will not be able to provide a refund.  If, however, Longplex is shut down during the season and the league receives a refund on the space rental, a partial refund will be calculated and provided.     
• We will continue to support participation of Westport residents in the recreation league as we have for the last several years.  Westport residents will be integrated onto teams which have Tiverton residents.  Please keep in mind we will not issue refunds once the season has started to players who discontinue participation if Longplex in Tiverton remains opens for business. Please consider your comfort level with travelling across state lines and with playing in an integrated league before registering.   
• We will try to offer separate divisions for boys and girls, however if registration numbers cannot support separate divisions, we may offer co-ed play.    
• All players will receive a recreational uniform shirt. 
• We need coaches!! Please indicate your interest when you register.  A criminal background check will be conducted of all TJBL volunteers.   

Thank You, 

TJBL Board of Directors
