Youth Basketball

This league is for boys and girls in Kindergarten* through Grade 6 (*Kindergarteners should be age 6 as of the start of the season). You do not need to be an Edgewood resident to play. There will be up to 10 kids per team, with a maximum of 6 teams per Division. This is to allow adequate gym time for all teams, and the best experience for all participants. Please note, we will NOT be holding a draft this year to determine teams (however, adjustments may be made during the first 2 weeks of the season to make sure teams are evenly matched).

The season begins January 3, 2022. All games and practices are held in the Edgewood STEAM Academy Gymnasium, 214 Maple Ave. Practices will take place one weeknight evening each week. Games are held Saturday mornings, according to Division. Division 1 (grades K-2) starts at 8am, Division 2 (grades 3-4) at 9:45am, and Division 3 (grades 5-6) at noon.

The fee for this league is $60. T-shirts will be provided. Please register now through December 20 using this link https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/292862.

We are still looking for volunteers, especially coaches! Basketball experience is not required, we just need good role models to help kids stay active and have fun! CLEARANCES ARE REQUIRED.

For questions, please call or email Abigail at the Borough Office at 412-242-4824, ext 217, office@edgewoodboro.com.

Matt will be there to ensure that our games run smoothly, and we have another great season of Edgewood Basketball!

Important Change to Recycling

As of January 1, 2021, Republic Services is no longer accepting any glass with curbside Recycling Collection. Glass has the tendency to break during collection and contaminates other recyclables with fine shards of glass.  Any contaminated items are forced to be rejected, and sent to a landfill. To continue recycling glass items, Republic Services has stationed a large blue dumpster in the parking lot behind the Edgewood Borough Building, 2 Race Street, for items to be dropped off at residents' convenience. This bin is located next to the paper collection bins.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only bring your CLEAN glass recyclables, without lids, to place in the bin.
