Summer basketball leagues

Registration is now underway for the City of Hickory's 17U and Adult Summer Basketball Leagues. Online registration for both leagues is available at https://hickory.activityreg.com/selectactivity_t2.wcs.

17U Summer League

Participation is free to all City of Hickory residents, and nonresidents can also participate by paying a $40 nonresident fee. Each participant will also purchase their team jersey at the time of registration.

If it is your first time participating with the Hickory Parks, Recreation & Sports Tourism Department, a copy of your birth certificate must be turned in at the Administrative Offices, located at 1451 8th Street Drive NE, prior to participation. All participants must attend a skills assessment in order to be placed on a team. Registrants will receive emails with assessment dates, times, and location once registration has closed.

The age group is determined by the player’s age on June 1, 2022. Players must be 15 by June 1, 2022, and any player that turned 18 on or before June 1, 2022, is not eligible to participate.
