In recent years, Detroit has seen the launch of several co-ed, neighborhood-based rec sports leagues like the Detroit City Futbol League and the Detroit Neighborhood Softball League. This March, a basketball league will join their ranks.
Registration for the Detroit Hoops League is currently open. According to the league's website, the new co-ed, neighborhood-based recreational basketball league "brings together teams representing neighborhoods across the city to play and compete for the love of the game."
The league will feature eight neighborhood teams competing on a weekly basis over the course of eight weeks, plus playoffs and a championship game.
The league is open to adults (ages 21+) who pay a $40 registration fee. Those interested in playing are invited to attend an open gym at the Jam Handy Building (2900 E. Grand Blvd.) on Wednesday, Feb. 25 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Registration closes on Saturday, Feb. 28.
Practices will be held on Wednesdays (Feb. 25 and April 15), 6 to 10 p.m. at the Jam Handy (2900 E. Grand Blvd, Detroit). Games will be held on Sundays from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Osborn Matrix Center Gymnasium (13560 E. McNichols Rd., Detroit). The season starts March 1 and ends April 19. Games will last 40 minutes and feature a referee and scoreboard.
