Requests
You will have the opportunity to request a practice day, friend, and/or coach, but WE CANNOT GUARANTEE REQUESTS. You will be able to prioritize your requests, and we will do our very best to accommodate at least one of them. Please understand that some requests might be impossible. For example, a requested coach might be in a different age group this fall, or a friend might not have registered. Similarly, if too many players have the same request, we will not be able to accommodate all of them. In addition to primary requests, we consider secondary priorities, date/time of registration, balancing of teams, etc. when determining placements. Requests are considered in the order of registration.
Payment
Payment is required at the time of registration*, and any outstanding balance(s) from prior programs must be paid before registering.
Cost: $127.20 for K-1st, $143.10 for 2nd-6th (inclusive of taxes/fees). Includes 7 weeks of practices and games, jersey, league t-shirt, devotional booklet, and end-of-the-season award.
General registration begins at noon on September 23rd and runs until full or through October 16th.
Late registration begins on October 17th, and a $20 late fee will be added on or after this date.
Coaching
If you would like to be a Coach for this season:
During your player's registration, select the option that you would like to be a Head Coach.
If you have a spouse/relative who would like to be a Head Coach, select that option during your player's registration and list the person's name as your coach request.
If you would like to be an Assistant Coach (not a Head), simply select that option during your player's registration.
Coach assignments are not guaranteed, but are subject to need, seniority/history with IAM3RD, background check, and agreement with our league rules and coaching contract.

Volunteers
I AM 3RD®'s basketball program would not be possible without major volunteer power. We are grateful to the many parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and neighbors who give their time to support these kids each season. We have varying opportunities available to serve for those interested, ranging from coaching and referee positions to administrative help.
To become a volunteer, please identify on your registration in what ways you are able to contribute or contact our office.
Scholarships
Basketball Scholarships are available for players, and are provided based on need and availability. All scholarship requests must be turned in prior to the regular registration deadline.
