As we look forward to the fall/winter youth basketball season, we find ourselves pushing up against district, city and state health guidelines once again.  Current fitness and youth sports guidelines allow for practices within groups of five plus a coach for Phase 2. 

As we remain in Phase 2 for the foreseeable future, we will not be allowed to run our regularly scheduled Spokane AAU league and opening season tournament. However, we are currently working with various youth sport agencies and facilities across the state to lobby for special considerations and updated guidelines for youth indoor sports. Once we know, you will know.  

We will continue to work with officials and be ready to play when possible. For now, we are planning for our Santa Slammer tournament December 19 & 20 with the hopes that we will be able to launch our program at that time. We are prepared with an eight-week schedule starting in January for our league.  

Like all of you, we look forward to filling the gyms with the sights and sounds of basketball once again. We want our kids to be playing for their wellbeing and for the love of the game.  

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
