2026 Season information

Registration Process

Hoops Registration is currently open for families with at least one parent who is willing to volunteer as the Head Coach for a team.  

HOOPS is completely run by volunteers and it is expected that every family who participates will also serve in some capacity.  Registration this year will be done in waves, allowing families who are able to volunteer for higher-commitment-level roles to select their preferred time and locations for practice before opening registration to all families.

Wave 1: Head Coaches – October 3rd

Families with a parent who is willing to volunteer as a Head Coach can sign up to Coach a team and register their players starting October 3rd.   Families can select their preferences for time and location of practices.

Wave 2: Referees and Assistant Coaches – October 13th

Families with a parent who is willing to volunteer as a Head Coach, Referee or an Assistant Coach can sign up to volunteer and register their players starting October 3rd.   Families can select their preferences for time and location of practices.

Wave 3: Open Registration – October 20th – October 31st:

Open registration for all families begins.

Before you register it is important to know:

1. The season schedule typically goes from early January to mid-March and is based on gym availability.  Typically, practices are on Monday or Tuesday nights and games are on Friday nights, with games at Clackamas Community College and Oregon City Christian Church.
2. As usual, rosters and volunteer assignments will be handed out at our kickoff meeting on January 6th, 7:00pm, at Reformation Covenant Church in Oregon City. At least one parent must attend the meeting. Additional details will be sent to registered participants.
3. Registration is closed. The order in which payments were received is taken into account if there is not room enough on a team for all registrants. If you have registered we will be emailing you soon.
4. The cost is $80.00 per child (with a cap of $320 per family), paid online at time of registration.
5. Any cancellations after December 4th will result in the loss of any funds paid to HOOPS. If HOOPS has to turn away a player due to limited space, a full refund will be made.
6. Children 7 to 18 years of age as of January 1 (at the start of the season) are eligible to participate. The HOOPS board reserves the right to adjust this as appropriate to each individual’s circumstances.
7. Participants must be primarily homeschooled with less than 50% of school time in organized programs outside the home. Part of the goal here is to create opportunities for those who otherwise don’t have the same options normally offered through the common institutions because of the way we’ve chosen to educate our children.
8. The 7-9 year old team is co-ed. There are separate boys and girls teams for the 10-13 and 14-18 year old teams. The HOOPS board reserves the right to rearrange the age brackets as needed.
9. Teams are organized based on gym availability, gym locations, registered player locations, player skill level, and numbers of players in certain areas.
10. HOOPS is completely run by volunteers and it is expected that every family who participates will also serve in some capacity. When you register, you will be asked to volunteer for a position. This role can be fulfilled by any party of your choice (i.e. spouse, responsible child, friend). If you do not volunteer, you may be assigned a role to fulfill.
