Our Youth Basketball League consists of recreational play for children from 6 – 14 years old. Crossroads recreational leagues are designed to teach and develop a player’s skills while incorporating a positive Christian influence through weekly devotional moments at practice. The cost to register for this league is $100.
Crossroads Sports is an outreach ministry of The Shepherd’s Church, designed specifically to serve families of The Shepherd’s Church and anyone not currently connected to a church.
To stay focused on this mission, registration is limited. If you attend a like-minded Evangelical Church, we humbly ask that you do not register.
We’re grateful for your understanding and support as we seek to share the love of Christ with out local community. You may learn more about our church at Shepherds.org.

Practices will be one hour long and will be one day per week (either Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday).

We will have a seven-game season and all games will be played on Saturdays between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. If you have multiple kids in the league, they will play at varied times throughout the day and we will be unable to coordinate back-to-back games for them throughout the season.

Team Placement and Scheduling
When building teams, we work to place your kids on a day and night that works for your family’s schedule. This includes placing all of your children on the same practice night, though they may be at different practice times depending on coach availability. Additionally, we try to honor the teammate requests that we can, so long as teammate requests have the same availability. Please note that we may not honor all teammate requests if there is an instance where we need to maintain an even number of players per team in the league or to even out player skill abilities across the teams.
