REMINDER: Registration fees DO NOT COVER uniform costs

IGH Basketball Association is committed to offer reasonable registration fees for the value of a positive and developmental player experience.

The largest portion of registration fees covers tournament entry fees and practice facility rental. Other costs consists of the following: offset cost of uniforms, warm up shirts, basketball equipment, tryouts, and overhead.

The player fee includes a minimum level of tournaments for each grade, facilities for two practices per week, shooter shirt, and use of equipment.

IGH Basketball Association hosts one tournament each year.  We constantly strive to keep fees affordable for all families while providing a quality developmental basketball experience for each participant. 

Once Player Evaluations are completed and teams are formed, registration fees are non-refundable.  Registration fees will be refunded only in the event a player does not get assigned to a team.  For players who make a team, there will be no refund after Player Evaluations unless the board decides otherwise. There will be no refunds to players who are dismissed from a team for any reason during the season.

Please know that we do our best to provide scholarships for as many players as possible. However, due to circumstances of the past couple seasons, our scholarship funds are not what they used to be.

We will take all applications into consideration, but please be prepared to cover some, or all, of the fees for this season. We do encourage you to also look into outside funding opportunities such as grants through Dick's Sporting Goods.  

Please visit the Google document form and fill out the scholarship application. Email us with additional questions at igh.basketball@gmail.com.

The DEADLINE for submitting a scholarship application is September 6, 2023. We will inform you if we are able to provide financial assistance within 3 days of the deadline. Then you will complete the registration process at that time.
