We did not have a good turnout at the Central/Senior Girls levels so we will be adding the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade girls together and calling it the Middle School girls division.

PARENTS:The Bourne Youth Swish League is run by volunteers consisting primarily of the participant’s parents. Positions that run the league are coaches, division coordinators and executive board members. We are finding each year brings new challenges for us to find coaches and division coordinators, and each year fewer volunteers are doing the bulk of the work. Without volunteers – this league will not exist. Coaching is 1 hour practice per week with 1, sometimes 2, games per week. This is recreation basketball, so you need NOT have any previous basketball experience and we will help you obtain the knowledge you may need. Division Coordinators work can be done from home. Please help us in running a quality league for the children of Bourne.   

1st Child $70.00   2nd Child $50.00   3rd Child $45.00   (Family cap of $165.00)

Mid-West Division is an introductory coed level for kindergarten and 1st graders. The Mid-West will meet once a week on Saturdays for a 30 minute practice followed by an all inclusive 30 minute controlled game.
