VOLUNTEERS
  • We need volunteer coaches, please indicate that you are interested in coaching in the text box at registration.
  • No need to have extensive basketball experience, especially at the elementary school level. Rec basketball is about FUN, getting kids excited about the game, socializing with friends, and learning the basic fundamentals.
  • We can help you with practice plans and substitution rotations (although the playing time rule at the elementary school level, makes subbing really easy!!)
  • New this year - we will also be looking for volunteers to run the clocks at elementary school games, perfect opportunity for older siblings or high school age kids looking for volunteer hours. E-mail Jenn at jkirkland@town.westborough.ma.us
  • If you are interested in helping out with Rec Basketball and have any questions please reach out to Jenn at jkirkland@town.westborough.ma.us

Girls High School
Historically we have not had enough registrants to run a girls high school league. If you are interested, please join the waitlist. If we get enough numbers on the waitlist, we will look to run a league.
