Registration for NAA Youth Basketball is open — deadline is Oct. 17. The Newton Athletic Association (NAA) is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that manages and administers youth basketball leagues in Newton in partnership with Newton Community Education.

The Leagues are for boys and girls in Grades 3-12. All players are welcome regardless of ability or experience.

A mandatory evaluation clinic will be held on Sunday, October 19 (make-up date is 10/20) for kids in grades 4-9 in order to create and balance the teams. Registration deadline for grades 4-9 is October 17.

The season consists of 10-12 games that are played on either Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the league. Practices are held one night each week, Sunday-Thursday.

The program runs mid-November through mid-March. Fees range from $135-$170, depending on the league.
