For over 40 years, our boys’ basketball program has been an integral part of the NYO experience during the winter months. Our program in Chastain Park is considered the best recreational basketball program in the city, and boasts nearly 750 players over eight, grade based leagues. With a focus on TEAM basketball and skill development, the leagues are structured so that teams are balanced, and players receive substantial playing time in a competitive and organized learning environment. In addition to our gymnasium at the park, our teams practice and play games in several other local gyms in the neighborhood. 

Developmental League: 1st Grade

Rookie League: 2nd Grade

A League: 3rd Grade

AA League: 4th Grade

AAA League: 5th Grade

SEC, Big 10, ACC: 6th & 7th Grade

Senior League: 8th & 9th Grade

In conjunction with NYO’s mission, our boys basketball program emphasizes character development, sportsmanship, healthy competition, and positive coaching.

September 16-30

ALL families (returning & new) will be put on a waitlist when you first register. On September 30th, the boys basketball committee will begin reviewing the waitlist and accept players into the league using the criteria below. 

- Returning players from the 2023-24 season are guaranteed a spot and will be accepted off the waitlist first. 

- PLAYERS MUST BE REGISTERED BY SEPTEMBER 30TH IN ORDER TO BE ACCEPTED USING THE CRITERIA ABOVE

- New players could remain on the waitlist until tryouts (October 26/27). We will start accepting new players off the waitlist as early as October 1st but that process will be ongoing as drops could occur up until tryouts are held. 

Once a player is accepted off the waitlist, families will have 48 hours to process payment in order to secure a spot in the 2024-25 NYO Boys Basketball program.
