SOUTHFIELD LEAGUE
Practices and games are played at the Franklin Athletic Club in Southfield. Players register as individuals and are placed on teams through a draft. All teams will have a minimum of three practices per season but teams do not have a practice every week. With the exception of Mini Hoopers and the Rookie League, we ask that all players have some prior basketball or team sport experience. We are in need of motivated coaches! If you want to volunteer, please contact League Director Bryan Bollin at 248-377-8305 or via e-mail at bbollin@pistons.com
Registration works best if done on a laptop/desktop computer! Some mobile devices will not allow the registration process to go through successfully.
