Winter League 2024

MALVERN LEAGUE WILL TIP-OFF AGAIN THIS WINTER – in November!

We have begun planning the Winter League by contacting our usual gym locations and a few new gym venues to reserve gym time on the weekends starting November 23 and 24 through mid February.

Our winter league is expanding and is now open to boy’s and girl’s teams in grades Kindergarten through 12th.

Players should submit their application (found on our website) to their coach by Oct. 7 because team registration deadline is October 15. Even if you (coach) make a verbal or email commitment, all team rosters and coach’s information paperwork must be submitted by October 15 or you will not be guaranteed placement in the league.

• All registration paperwork (which can be found on the “Registration” link on our web site) and fees (see Coach's Registration form) must be dropped off or mailed to Malvern Basketball League, 627 N. Speakman Lane, West Chester, PA 19380. You can also pay by Venmo (@malvernleague). The team fee this season is still $1.395 ($1,250 for Kindergarten), which includes up to 12 players on your roster. Checks should be made payable to “Malvern Basketball League”. A minimum deposit of $500 is required by October 15 to hold your spot on the schedule, with any balance of registration FEES to be paid in full by October 31.
• As a reminder, when filling out the forms, please clearly indicate the team name, the skill level and the gender. Those 3 items seem to be omitted most frequently when we are reviewing applications, so your cooperation is appreciated.
• When determining the skill level of your team, if you have a very strong, competitive team, you may sign up in the next higher grade level. Please note this on the registration form.
• Game Shirts will be dropped of at the gym at your first game (12 shirts per team).
• Game Schedules (10 games) will be distributed via email.
• Additional players (over 12) can be added to the roster up until Nov. 17.
• Games will begin this season Sat. Nov. 23 and Sun. Nov. 24. Games will be scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays. Just a quick important note ... there will be very little flexibility in the scheduling process and re-scheduling requests.
• There will be NO games scheduled during the Holiday weekends, (Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, Dec. 28 & 29).
• The Malvern Winter League is strictly a TEAM league. No individual registrations will be accepted.
• The head coach, assistants and team coordinators MUST sign up (web site home page) for our Email distribution list. This is our main means of communication.
• Practice time is the responsibility of each team. Teams arrange practice on their own at various local schools, church facilities or other local gyms, usually once per week. If you need a certificate of insurance for the practice time/facility, please contact our Insurance Agent, Paul McShane by emailing pmcshane@kramerwarner.com.
