Intramural Basketball

Intramural Basketball

Started in 2022, Intramural Basketball is an in-town basketball program that replaced what was previously called Rec Basketball that was run through the town of Natick’s Rec and Parks department.

New this year, we are rebranding all of our in-town (non-travel) winter programs as Intramurals.  This extends the Intramural program to include Grades 1-2, which was previously called Winter Hoopsters.

Registration for Intramural Basketball is now live and you can register here.

A summary of Intramural Basketball is listed below:
