The Largest Temple-Based
Basketball League In the Country
Fall 2025 registration will open on Wednesday, June 11
Beginning our 52nd year, the Beth Am Basketball Fall 2025 League will run from August to December, and is open to the entire community. The league emphasizes teamwork and sportsmanship, with fundamentals and skill development a focus for all of our players, regardless of experience or ability.
The Fall League includes various divisions for Girls from 2nd–8th grade and Boys from 2nd–12th grade. New this season, we are opening our league to 2nd grade, who will play on lower rims and smaller courts. Team practices will begin shortly after our mandatory player evaluations, held the weekend of August 23-24, with games set to begin in mid-September. Across all of our divisions, we are grateful for the more than 100 volunteer head and assistant coaches that lead and instruct our players, while ensuring our players learn, practice and have fun through the universal sport of basketball. Please note, our Boys High School division is a “bring your own team” format, and registered players must be part of a team of 8-10 to join the league.
We are also excited to continue our Beth Am Basketball Coed Clinics on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30-5:30, which we are opening to Kindergarten for the first time, in addition to 1st grade. Our Coed Clinics will begin on Wednesday, September 10, and continue through Wednesday, December 17 (no clinics held on September 24, October 1 or November 26). Featuring skill-development instruction and training and led by our league referees and coaches, these clinics include scrimmages at the end of every session, as we introduce the Beth Am Basketball way to our youngest players. It’s a great opportunity for children to develop their fundamentals, build confidence and have a blast with their peers at the Poyastro Family Athletic Center Gymnasium here at Temple Beth Am.

Practices are held at the coach’s discretion on any day during the week (except Friday), and the coach will also determine the location. Registrants can indicate on the registration form any day of the week they cannot practice because of a conflict, and we will make every effort to place them on a team that does not practice on those days.
