Winter League 2025

The ’25-’26 Malvern Winter League will tip-off the weekend of November 15 & 16 !!!

The “Registration” link on the left has the Registration forms for coaches and players for the upcoming Winter Season 2025-2026.

Here are the Winter League highlights ...

We have begun planning the Winter League by contacting our usual gym locations and a few new gym venues to reserve gym time on the weekends starting November 15 and 16 through mid-February.

Our winter league has expanded and is now open to boys' and girls’ teams in grades Kindergarten through 12th.

Players should submit their application to their coach by Sept. 23rd because team registration deadline is October 1st. Even if you (coach) make a verbal or email commitment, all team rosters and coach’s information paperwork must be submitted by October 1st or you will not be guaranteed placement in the league.

• All registration paperwork and fees must be dropped off or mailed to Malvern Basketball League, 627 N. Speakman Lane, West Chester, PA 19380. The team fee this season is $1.495 ($1,295 for Kindergarten), which includes up to 12 players on your roster. Checks should be made payable to “Malvern Basketball League” or can be paid by venmo , @malvernleague.A minimum deposit of $500 is required by October 1st to hold your spot on the schedule, with any balance of registration FEES to be paid in full by October 15th.
• As a reminder, when filling out the forms, please clearly indicate the team name, the skill level and the gender. Those 3 items seem to be omitted most frequently when we are reviewing applications, so your cooperation is appreciated.
• When determining the skill level of your team, if you have a very strong, competitive team, you may sign up in the next higher grade level. Please note this on the registration form.
• Game Shirts will be dropped of at the gym at your first game (12 shirts per team).
• Game Schedules (10 games) will be distributed via email. There will be a playoff format for the top 4 teams in all A & B skill divisions this winter.
• Additional players (over 12) can be added to the roster up until Oct. 31st.
• Games will begin this season Sat. Nov. 15 and Sun. Nov. 16. Games will be scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays. Just a quick important note ... there will be very little flexibility in the scheduling process and re-scheduling requests.
• There will be NO games scheduled during the Holiday weekends, (Nov. 29 & 30, Dec. 27 & 28).
• The Malvern Winter League is strictly a TEAM league. No individual registrations will be accepted.
• The head coach, assistants and team coordinators MUST sign up (web site home page) for our Email distribution list. This is our main means of communication.
• Practice time is the responsibility of each team. Teams arrange practice on their own at various local schools, church facilities or other local gyms, usually once per week.
