There are two seasons of basketball each year – Winter and Summer. Winter season runs from May through to October and Summer season runs from November through to May. Under 8’s to 16’s games are played on a Saturday and 19’s and 23’s are played on Sunday nights.

Each season has approximately 17 rounds of basketball games with the first 7 rounds being classed as grading rounds. The highest grade being A grade and lowest being G in some age groups.
