Adel Parks and Recreation is gearing up to launch a new youth basketball league that welcomes children from first through sixth grade, expanding the city’s commitment to youth sports and providing a structured environment for skill development.
In‑Town League for Younger Players
The in‑town division, designed for first‑ and second‑graders, will kick off on October 12 and will meet each Saturday in November, with each participant receiving a league T‑shirt as part of the registration fee.
Older students in third through sixth grade will compete in travel leagues that begin practice on November 30, with games scheduled from January 9 through February 20, providing a broader competitive experience and the chance to travel to neighboring communities.
Registration and Costs
Families can register their children by the September 25 deadline for the younger age group and by November 20 for the travel divisions, and the fee ranges from $70 to $75 depending on the grade level.
Volunteer coaching positions are open to parents and community members, offering a chance to directly shape the experience for the city’s youth while fostering a sense of ownership and involvement.
All registration details are available online at adel.activityreg.com, where families can complete the sign‑up process and learn more about the program’s schedule, requirements, and benefits.
