One regulation-sized school court becomes two simultaneous games, each played four-on-four across the court’s width. The organizer also sets a specific rule for how players enter after the opening team balance.
The organizer divides the regulation-sized court into two games played at the same time on the side baskets. Each game is four-on-four and runs widthwise, rather than using the full court length for a single game.

Teams are balanced as evenly as possible at the outset. After that, players from the losing team shoot foul shots to play next; the people already sitting do not simply choose who enters. That rule makes the rotation part of the announced format, not an informal selection left entirely to the sideline.

The organizer asks participants to keep a positive, supportive attitude. Fighting, rough play and screaming are prohibited, and anyone who breaks those rules will be asked to leave the gym immediately. Food and alcoholic beverages are not allowed inside the school.

The dated event is for Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, from 7 to 9 p.m.; that session has passed. Its listing describes a weekly Wednesday series through April 21, 2027. The recurring hours are best stated as Eastern time because the series spans the daylight-time change.
The group’s broader description says it schedules Monday and Wednesday evenings, 7–9 p.m., when public schools are open, and that players can choose individual sessions rather than commit to a season or weekday. When checked Nov. 5, the group page showed Nov. 9, 16, 18 and 23 as upcoming. Confirm the date you want on its individual Meetup listing.

RSVP on Meetup for each session and pay $10 by Zelle to [email protected] at the same time. The group says not to arrive with cash. Once you RSVP, the fee is nonrefundable and does not convert to a credit. If you are unfamiliar with the payment process, contact an organizer before taking a spot.

The group requires a signed waiver before admitting prospective members to the Meetup group, and requires a new one at the beginning of each season. Without the new waiver, members may be removed from the group and have to rejoin.
Get the form from LICYSL.org under the “Men’s Basketball” tab, not the youth waiver on the home page. Print your name in the top field, sign and date both lines at the bottom, scan the form as a PDF, and email it to [email protected]. The listing gives no processing time or confirmation that a first-time submission clears someone to play that same evening, so check with an organizer before relying on a first visit.
