Sound familiar?
You’re an unc if…
Your knees make Rice Krispies sounds walking downstairs, and you still reminisce about how you used to high jump in junior high.
You watched And1 Mixtapes religiously, and your favorite baller was The Professor — because we all thought we could pull off those moves.
You consider Vince Carter's dunk contest in 2000 the pinnacle of human achievement.
You bought Reeboks solely because of Allen Iverson and probably still own them — along with those 1998 baggy shorts that could double as curtains.
You have brand-new basketball shoes that haven't seen a court because: work, kids, or your ACL is one bad landing away from retirement.
Your kid's favorite player is LaMelo Ball, and you still can't figure out how they think Kobe isn't top 3.

Straight answers.
Why start a league now?
Court availability changes in the fall. All summer I could book a Friday run most weeks, but once school and club basketball start up, the gyms fill fast and stay booked until around May.
With a league we book the floor months ahead, so you've got a weekly game on the calendar and it doesn't depend on whether I can find a court.
Are the Friday runs still happening?
Yes, but there'll be a lot fewer of them. Winter bookings for Friday nights are pretty much full at the gyms we use. School teams and club programs take most of that time from late September through to about May.
We'll still put runs on when we can get a court. They'll just be one-offs instead of something you can count on.
Is the league replacing the runs?
No, they're two different things. A run is one night of pickup with the right guys on the floor. The league is a full season where you're on the same team every week, the games count, and there are refs.
We're starting the league now because Friday courts get hard to book once fall hits, but it's not a swap.
Why join the league instead of just coming to the runs?
The league is the one you can plan around. Choose Friday evenings or Sunday afternoons for Winter 2027, with a team that's expecting you and games that mean something.
You don't have to pick one either. Once the season starts, league players pay half price on their own spot at any run we do put on.
Do I need a team?
No. Join solo and we'll place you on a team, so you don't need to find seven other guys. Winter registration also lets you bring a team if you already have a squad.
Can I sign up with a friend?
Yes. You can join solo or bring a team for Winter 2027. If you're joining solo and want to play with a friend, tell us in the registration form. We take requests into account, but can't guarantee every request because teams still need to be balanced.
Do I need basketball experience?
No. You don't need high school, college, or any organized basketball behind you.
Most guys coming in do have some. Probably around 80% played at least high school. But that just helps us figure out where to put you, it's not a requirement to join.
I haven't played in years. Can I still join?
Yeah, that's a lot of guys in the league. Plenty of people are coming back after years off, and you don't need to be in game shape before you start.
If getting back into basketball is part of how you want to get active again, that's fine. Just know it's a real league with guys who want good games, not a workout class.
