1 When does registration open up for the MCAA basketball seasons?
Registration for the winter season opens up in October. The winter season runs from December to February (games start in January). Registration for the spring season opens up in February. The spring season runs from March to May (games start in April).
2 How can I be notified about upcoming registrations?
Subscribe to MCAA Email Updates using the form at the bottom of this site. You will be notified when we have clinics, registrations, and updates on our league. Please be sure to register early when registration opens, because it fills up quickly.
3 What age divisions do you have in this league?
We currently have three age divisions: 7–8, 9–10 and 11–12. The 7–8 age division plays 3-on-3 on an 8-foot basket. The 9–10 age division plays 3-on-3 on a 10-foot basket. The 11–12 age division plays 5-on-5 on a 10-foot basket.
4 What division will my child play in?
When you register, the system automatically places your child in the division according to their birthdate. It is their age on July 31st of that season year. For example, if you are registering for the Winter Season 2025 (January – February 2025), whatever their age is on 7/31/25 will be the division they participate in. Unfortunately, your child may not play if they are not between the ages of 7 and 12 years old at the July 31st set date. Note that the very first time you register your child, you must upload your child's birth certificate so we can verify their birthdate.
5 Do you allow intact teams?
No.
6 How does my child get on a team?
Each registered (and waitlisted) player must attend the player evaluation day, which is posted when registration opens. This allows the coaches to evaluate each player on their skill level (ranked A, B or C). Coaches then draft each child onto their team on Draft Day (coaches only attend). This process allows all teams to be equally placed.
7 Does my child need to attend the player evaluation day?
Yes, it is mandatory. If your child does not attend the evaluation day and is registered, they may not be placed on a team, and we do not issue refunds. Those on the waitlist who attend the evaluation day may be given available spots, so please be sure to attend the evaluation day even if you were waitlisted during registration.
8 Does my child need any basketball experience to play in this league?
No. We welcome all skill levels and first-time players. We are a developmental league with emphasis on learning, fun, safety and development.
9 How can I sign up to be a coach?
Please contact mcaaleague@gmail.com if you are interested in becoming a coach. We are in need of coaches and welcome anyone with a positive attitude who emphasises good sportsmanship. No basketball experience is needed. Coaches need to attend the player evaluation day, draft day, and the coach's meeting (dates posted when registration opens).
10 If I coach, will my child be on my team?
Yes, your child is an automatic lock-in on your team. You are also able to lock in one other player after the player evaluation day if you want them on your team (parent signature required). All other players for your team have to be drafted on draft day.
11 When are practices?
Practices are during weekdays, Monday to Friday, tentatively between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm. Coaches can choose between two 1-hour practices per week, or one 2-hour practice per week. The 7–8 division usually practises at Mililani Mauka Elementary School since 8-foot backboards are available there (pending availability). Other divisions practise at an outdoor basketball park court in Mililani, depending on which park the coach signs up for.
12 When are games?
Games are currently only on Saturdays at the Mililani District Park Gym. The 7–8 and 9–10 divisions play in the morning (tentatively 8:30 am – 12:30 pm) and the 11–12 division plays in the afternoon (tentatively 1:30 pm – 5:30 pm).
13 I am interested in being a scorekeeper or referee. How do I sign up?
We are in need of scorekeepers and referees for our league, and we do compensate for your time and work. No experience is needed, and we hold referee and scorekeeper training before the winter season starts, usually in December. Please contact mcaaleague@gmail.com if you are interested. A referee shirt and whistle are provided for games once you complete training. The minimum age to work is 14 years old.
