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.

Important Note:
Crossroads Sports is an outreach ministry of The Shepherd’s Church, designed specifically to serve families of The Shepherd’s Church, as well as those who are 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. If you do not have a church of your own, you are welcome to register. To learn more about our church, visit Shepherds.org.
We’re grateful for your understanding and support as we seek to share the love of Christ with our local community.

Practice Information
The first week of practice will be the week of January 5th, 2026.
Practices will be one hour long and will be one day per week (either Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday). When you register, you will indicate which evenings you are available. We will work hard to schedule your child to practice on a day that works with their availability. Please include all of the dates and times that your child is available to ensure that they are placed on a team.
Game Information
We will have a seven-game season and all games will be played on Saturdays between 8:00 am and 8:00 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. Typically, younger kids are scheduled to play early in the day, and the older kids later.
Our first game day will be on January 10th, and games will be held every Saturday until February 21st.

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.
