BOYS' CLUB BASKETBALL: Our Boys' Basketball Club program was limited to the first 300 total registrants for the 8/9 and 10/11 club leagues, and additionally limited to the first 300 total registrants for the 12/13 and 14-18 club leagues. This was due to facility limitations in the area. Anyone that registered after the first 300 in either (8/9 & 10/11) or (12/13 & 14/18) will be placed on a waiting list. Those on the waiting list will be placed in the order registrations were received. As a space becomes available players will be contacted. Players will be contacted in early November for their player evaluation times. A player must be evaluated in order to be placed on a team. Players not showing up for evaluations may not be placed on a team. BOYS' SELECT BASKETBALL:Boys desiring to play SELECT Basketball MUST register as SELECT players (and pay the necessary fees) and MUST do so before the Winter registration deadline. The SELECT registration information will be used to contact players for SELECT evaluations and keep them informed of the process. Accordingly, players signing up for Club Basketball will NOT be notified of SELECT evaluation times. Players not making these teams will be given a refund of the difference between CLUB and SELECT fees and will be registered to play CLUB basketball (unless otherwise directed by the player and/or parents of the player).

We try very hard to balance the sometimes conflicting goals of developing the most talented players for the local high school programs while including as many boys as possible for their recreational needs. Obtaining quality gym space in fulfillment of these goals remains our biggest challenge, but we will continue to seek quality options in this area. Our excellent working relationship with the Anne Arundel County Department of Parks and Recreation helps keep us going. To help alleviate some of the administrative burden on our all volunteer force, we will be looking to increase the use of this web site for conducting the business of the program. We encourage you to check back here often for the latest program information, and we thank you for your support. OVERVIEW: Currently the Boys' Basketball program runs during the fall and winter seasons. Historically there has not been sufficient interest to run leagues of multiple teams at any of the age groups in the spring or summer. If there are individual Select teams that want to continue practicing or playing league games in the non-winter seasons, they can contact one of the Select Program Director. No specialized equipment or training is needed to participate in the Green Hornets Boys Basketball program; just bring a pair of basketball shoes, practice attire, and a desire to learn and have fun. Each year we strive to improve the program. Improvements this year will include the enhancement of a Referee training and development program. Past improvements, including the hiring of professional referees for the older Club program, the purchase of reversible NBA jerseys for club teams, training and development for coaches, a Fall Clinic and the purchase of electronic scoreboards, will continue. “Respect our Facilities”. In the past our use of county gym space has been jeopardized when unsupervised players or siblings have caused damage to the facilities. We have tried various programs to address this issue in the past, with limited success. The following rules must be adhered to by all participants in the Green Hornets Boys' Basketball program or they will risk dismissal from the program:
AGE RANGE: Players range in age from 8- to 17-years old.
COST: Local (Club) Basketball $100 / Select (County) Basketball $160 / Co-Ed 6/7 Clinic $75
