CBC Basketball
Our Mission
Our mission is to use this basketball ministry as a tool to make a spiritual impact in our community and to strengthen the relationships within our church families. We look at this as an opportunity for people in our churches to serve, to share their faith, and to make an eternal difference in the lives of those they come in contact with. Our desire is to use the sport of basketball as a means to touch the lives of these young people and their families with the love of Christ.
What you need to know
Thank you for your interest in the CBC Basketball League! Registration for the 2026 season will open on November 1st, 2025, and runs through Nov 23rd. Some divisions fill up quickly and may fill up before the end of the month.
- CBC Basketball League runs the first week of January through mid-March.
The 8-week season will run from January 17th through March 7th, followed by a week-long tournament starting March 8th with the final championship games on March 14th.
Registration will be for students grades 1st through 12th. (1st/2nd is coed, 8th-12th girls are 3 on 3 half-court.) Age divisions may be rearranged as needed based on the number of registrations received in each age group.
- Players will participate in one game (Fri. or Sat.) and one practice (Sun., Mon., Tues, or Thurs.) per week.
- Practices will begin the first week of January. Practice dates and times will not be determined until after registration closes and teams are decided.
- As per MHSAA rules, high school players (as well as middle school girls, due to overlapping basketball seasons), who are on a school basketball team roster are not permitted to play on a recreation team during their season.
Spots fill up quickly, so we recommend signing up as soon as registration opens to secure a spot. Late registration (additional $10 fee) may be available for any openings that remain beginning November 24th through January 1st.
FAQs
Registration opens on November 1st at 8 AM and closes on November 23rd at midnight. Some divisions do fill up quickly, so to secure a spot, you may want to register sooner than later. Registration can be found on Communitybible.net/basketball. Late registration (additional $10 fee) may be available for any openings that remain beginning on November 24th – January 1st.
CBC Basketball is an 8-week season, beginning early January through mid-March, followed by a week-long tournament. Practices begin one week prior to the start of the season. Teams practice one hour per week and play one one-hour game per week. There are a few teams that may have a bye week or a double-header during the season.
Our league is open to 1st through 12th-grade players. Divisions may need to be rearranged slightly from year to year based on the number of registrants in each age group. Currently, our divisions are as follows:
- 1st – 2nd Grade Co-ed
- 3rd – 4th Girls
- 3rd – 4th Boys
- 5th -7th Girls
- 5th – 6th Boys
- 7th – 8th Boys
- 8th – 12th Girls (3-on-3 Half-court)
- 9th – 10th Boys
- 11th – 12th Boys
The registration fee is $100 for 1st- 6th grade and $110 for 7th – 12th grade. A jersey will also need to be purchased for $28.00 unless you already have one from a previous year.
Most games will be held on Saturdays, with a possible Friday evening game on occasion.
Teams will be determined after the registration window closes on November 23rd AND after coaches meet in December. You can plan to hear from their coach after that time.
Your child’s team will be assigned a standing one-hour practice time each week. Practices may be on any of the following days, determined by coach and gym space availability: Sunday (afternoon), Monday (evening), Tuesday (evening), or Thursday (evening).
Per MHSAA rules, high school players as well as middle school girls who are on a school basketball team roster are not permitted to play on a recreation team during their season if it overlaps with our league. Please direct any questions regarding this policy to your school’s athletic director. Due to the fact that middle school boys’ basketball season ends prior to the start of our season, they are able to register and play both.
No tryouts or experience is required. Our league welcomes both experienced as well as brand new players and all in between. We do our best to spread players out evenly across teams so that each team is relatively balanced based on grade/age, experience level, and in some cases height.
Due to the size of the league and multiple factors that we take into account when forming teams, we are unable to promise specific placements on teams or that friends will be placed together on the same team. Our goal is to keep teams as evenly balanced as possible based on grade and experience when determining placements.
There is a link on the registration page to sign up on the Waitlist. If an opening becomes available, we will reach out to the next player on the waitlist for that division according to the date received. Once contacted, families will have a 24-hour window to either accept or decline the opening before we move on to the next person on the waitlist.
This is not an option for our league. We strive to maintain an equal balance between teams when considering age and experience. All players will need to register through either the Naz or CBC registration and will be assigned a team based on our team selection process.
