2026 Tryout and Program Information

We are excited to announce the 17th season of North City Basketball!!

We will have boys teams at each grade/age level starting at 10U (4th Grade) through 17U (11th grade).

We will have girls teams at each grade/age level starting at 10U (4th grade) and finishing with a HS team (15U-17U).

*We are open to having 3rd grade boys or girls register and tryout for the 4th grade teams.

It is recommended that each player make all tryout dates associated with their grade to give them the best chance of making the team. With that said, players can make the team by only attending one tryout.

Our Middle School Tryouts (4th Grade-8th grade) have been completed. We are looking for players for 4th grade boys and 8th grade girls. The other teams are full. If you are interested, please contact northcityaau @ gmail.com
