Description DIVISION A DISCOVER THE CITY OF RIALTO BASKETBALL
EXPERIENCE! Welcome to an energetic YOUTH BASKETBALL INITIATIVE THAT
GOES FAR BEYOND A TYPICAL RECREATIONAL LEAGUE. Our program is designed
to spark a love for the game while inspiring kids to grow physically,
emotionally, and socially—all in a safe, structured, and exciting
environment. We believe in celebrating teamwork, sportsmanship,
fairness, and equality, empowering every young athlete to shine and
reach their full potential. What Makes Our Program Special? Dynamic
Team Building: Our team placement process is all about balance and
growth. Every season, players are placed on different teams and work
with various coaches. While the frequent changes might seem unusual,
this method helps players develop a well-rounded skill set, adapt to
different playing styles, and build lasting connections throughout the
league. Teams are created fairly with players assigned based on their
skill levels. We do not accommodate special team requests, but
families with siblings in the same age group can register them
together for convenience but it must be noted during registration.
We’ll do our best to schedule siblings on the same practice
days—though we can’t guarantee this based on availability. Fair
Play and Registration: To keep things fun and fair, coaches are not
allowed to recruit or register players on their own. Every interested
child must sign up directly through Parks, Recreation & Community
Services. And remember, each participant needs to submit a copy of
their birth certificate by scanning and emailing it to
Recreation@rialtoca.gov. Age & Eligibility: We welcome Middle School
students to our league! Specifically, 14-year-olds are eligible as
long as they remain enrolled in Middle School—please note that a
valid student ID is required to verify eligibility. High School
students are not allowed to participate in this division, and age will
be determined based on the player's age at the end of the season..
