Income-based fee reductions are available to qualified individuals for all Arlington County programs. Children who receive reduced lunch pay 50% of the basketball registration fee; children who receive free lunch pay 25%.  Children eligible for fee reductions can register online but  please do NOT complete the payment section and contact your league commissioner to make payment arrangements at the discounted rate.

Individuals requesting fee reductions also may register in person at the Arlington Sports Office, or via mail. You can find more information about fee reductions here.

All Fee Reductions for youth sport leagues must be manually applied. If you have a fee reduction and need to apply it, please follow these steps: 

• Complete the registration for the winter house basketball program and add the order to your cart. You can access the website here: Arlington County Youth Basketball Leagues
• Do not complete payment for the program, please email your league manager directly once the registration is in the cart.
• We will go into your account and adjust the fee to reflect the fee reduction.
• Once you receive an email from your league manager informing you that the fee has been adjusted, please log back into your account and pay the adjust fee.
• Please note, that your child’s registration for the program will not be completed until the adjusted registration fee is paid.

Refund Policy: There will be a $20 cancellation fee for all refunds.

Note: Our credit card processor adds a 2.5% surcharge to all credit card payments. Arlington County does not receive any portion of this fee. Debit cards are processed as credit cards and incur the 2.5% fee.  A $20 cancellation fee will be subtracted from cancellation refunds.

Location: All sessions are held at the Thomas Jefferson Community Center, 3501 2nd St. S.

Uniforms: All participants will receive a Saturday Morning Basketball reversible jersey as part of their registration fee.  Please be sure to indicate the appropriate size on your child’s registration form

Team Placement: Teams are organized by school. Priority to play on team with schoolmates or with the previous year’s team is given to those who register before the close of registration. 

We do our best to accommodate requests, however, team sizes are limited to 8-10 players, and we cannot guarantee placement based on teammate or coach requests. 

Volunteers:  Volunteers are essential to Arlington’s youth basketball program. Each team is assigned between 2-4 volunteers.  The more volunteers per team the better the ratio of participant to volunteer and enhances the overall participant experience.  Parents and other interested persons are encouraged to apply to assist with the program.  The weekly time commitment is about 1 hour each Saturday morning. Information for 2026-27 volunteers will be made available and posted prior to the season start.
