Basic Information
Ball Size / Goal Heights
With a focus of Hudson Youth Basketball being to equip our kids with strong fundamentals, we want to set our kids up for success with proper basketball size and goal heights.
Kindergarten Division: 25.5", 8ft Goal Height
1st & 2nd Grade Division: 27.5", 8ft Goal Height
3rd & 4th Grade Division: Girls 27.5", 9ft Goal Height Boys 28.5", 9ft Goal Height

Ages
Hudson Youth Basketball strives to set up athletes for success at their next stage of playing basketball, which is at the junior high level. So as a league we will focus on developing athletes that are in Kindergarten - 6th Grade. Players who turn 5 by January 1, 2023 are also able to register.
Season Length
In an effort to make the most impact that we can, the regular season will now consist of 7 games minimum and End of Year Tournament.
Gate Fees
There will not be a gate fee for regular season games. With the increase in registration cost, we prioritized creating a longer season experience and removing gate fees for the regular season. A typical family would actually pay over $60 per season in gate fees in addition to the registration cost, so we have restructured the budget to make it where gate fees can go away. The only time there will be a gate fee is at the End of Year Tournament and All Star Showcase. For those events, the gate fee will be $5 per person over 18, and will cover the full day.
