Thank you for choosing to play MSCR Winter Basketball!
Your league is an 8 team league. You will play everyone once. The winner of the league will be the team with the best overall record. In the event that two teams tie for the best record then the head to head winner between those two teams will be declared the league champion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: On 1/14/26 this league won't play any games (it will be a skip week) because there are so many WIAA high school games being played that there aren't enough open gyms and courts to play on.

Non-Discrimination:
MSCR is the public recreation department and welcomes players of all races, genders and abilities. Derogatory comments toward a player or referee based on race, gender expression or disabilities will not be tolerated and are grounds for removal from the program.
High School or National Federation rules are the basic playing rules of the MSCR basketball league.
Snow Procedures:
As a reminder, MSCR is a department of the school district. When school is closed due to inclement weather, MSCR programs are also closed. Please check our website for cancellations due to snow or cold weather.
League Administration - here are a few highlights regarding the administration of MSCR basketball leagues:
- Teams are reminded that they must have both light and dark colored jerseys available – reversible is OK! The jerseys or shirts must have permanently adhered numbers (taped on numbers are not allowed).
- Shirts / Jersey’s do not need to be fancy but a team must be dressed in the same or similar colored shirts/jerseys. A set of white t-shirts and a set of black t-shirts with numbers written in sharpie, works just as well as a set of professionally printed reversible jerseys.
- There is no "grace period" in MSCR basketball . . . there must be at least four players dressed and ready to play at the scheduled game time or a forfeit will be declared. Please allow yourself enough time to arrive safely and find a parking spot.
- The MSCR program is a “rostered” team program. If a team has players participating without signing up, the game will be a forfeit and the team may be dropped from the program. Players can be added to teams if needed by contacting MSCR at 204-3024 or having the player sign a player card and waiver on site.
- MSCR reminds you that the games are meant to provide a fun, recreational activity - good sportsmanship and respect toward fellow players and game officials is a program expectation. Players or fans unable to uphold these standards risk future participation in the program. MSCR thanks you in advance for your cooperation!

2.) Placing an extended arm bar on the player.
3.) Placing and keeping a hand on the player.
