 NEW: We have a Boy's Basketball Facebook Page YOUNG REFEREE PROGRAM: Green Hornets will again be hiring referees to officiate the boys' and girls' club leagues in the 2018-2019 season. Interested parties should sign-up using the Paid Referee Form on the Green Hornets Home page. All referees whether new or returning must sign up. Training and tryouts will occur in November. Attendance at training and tryouts is mandatory for all referees. Referees must be available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. in December, January and February. BOYS' CLUB BASKETBALL: There are five age groups in our Boys' Basketball Club Boys' Basketball Club program. All leagues run from Dec. 1 - March 1, depending on the calendar. Players in the 3rd through 12th grades will be contacted in October or 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). Currently, select tryouts are scheduled during October. If you have questions or are interested in coaching or participating in the Select Basketball Program, please contact Brad Fowler at brad.fowler@suntrust.com.

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 website 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: The Boys Basketball Club program runs during the winter season, while the Boys Basketball Select program runs during the winter and spring seasons. 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 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 1st Grade - 12th Grade.
COST: Local (1st-8th Grade Club) Basketball $120 / Local (9th-12th Grade Club) $130/ Select (County) Basketball $220 / Select Spring Basketball $50
SEASON: The season for boys' basketball runs from mid-November to early March.
