The Fieldhouse Premier Boys Basketball Leagues offer the finest competitive environment in youth basketball. Each grade level offers A, B, and C Divisions where appropriate to insure your team is able to compete and develop at the level best-suited for their developmental needs. This attention to detail has earned the FPBL the reputation as the best league play available in the state of Indiana -- often drawing teams from as far as Ohio and Illinois! League dates are listed below, click season for complete details and online registration.

Each league season consists of an 8 game regular season plus a single elimination, seeded championship tournament. Team entry fees are $525 per season.*

*Non-USSSA teams must pay a one-time annual $25 dues fee to cover league sanctioning and insurance fees.

Fieldhouse All-Star Rec League ... our player development league!

Looking for a league for your young non-travel ball player to learn and compete? The Fieldhouse All-Star Rec League is designed specifically for individual players. We believe that youth sports is about far more than winning games and that "elite" travel teams, especially at the youngest age groups, can have a detrimental effect on encouraging young players to stay active and continue to develop their passion for sport and a healthy lifestyle. The All-Star Rec League allows our youngest players the opportunity to play even after they may have been told they are "not good enough" -- a situation that we, as parents, probably did not have to face until we were teenagers but the reality that our children are often facing as early as second grade! Ignore that nonsense and keep your player in the game as a Fieldhouse Star!

  • Winter 2009-2010 - December 6 - February 14

The Fieldhouse staff will place players on teams. Parents, here is your chance to be involved -- teams are coached by volunteer parents. Registration fee includes one weekly workout at The Fieldhouse Hoops Academy and one game per week for the 8 game season. Individual cost is $145 per player and includes Fieldhouse All-Star jersey!

The Fieldhouse Premier League Rules 

     The Fieldhouse offers the finest competitive league play available in the state of Indiana for youth of all ages.  Each grade level offers A, B, and even C divisions where appropriate to insure proper levels of competition for all skill levels. League “seasons” include 8 regular season games followed by a single elimination playoff.  Seeded playoffs are held as a festive weekend event in order to capture the true fervor and pageantry of Indiana tournament basketball. Only IHSAA officially licensed referees will be employed in order to maintain the integrity of the game Hoosiers love.  Team entry fees are $525 per season and must be paid in full by Week Two.

     All Fieldhouse leagues shall be governed by IHSAA rules with the following exceptions.  School teams must play in the grade division of their oldest player.  At the discretion of The Fieldhouse, "All Star" and other non-school based travel teams may be required to play up one grade level above the grade of their oldest player in order to maintain the competitive balance of the league. All players must be listed on the official team roster with corresponding parent signature to be eligible to participate. Coaches must be prepared to establish all players are eligible to participate in that grade division by producing a current grade report for each player, if requested. Players may not be "double-rostered" on teams within the same grade and division.
 
     Teams using illegal players will forfeit all games played to date -- whether or not the illegal player participated in those games.  A second violation of this rule will result in the team being removed from the league without refund. All rosters must be finalized by WEEK TWO of each season. A coach or player ejected from a game shall be suspended for the following game. A second violation in the same season will result in a suspension for the remainder of that season.

      For Grades 3 - High School, games shall be played in two fourteen-minute halves with a stop clock format.  A running clock shall be used if a team has a lead of twenty points or larger in the second half. No full court pressing or half court trapping zone defenses of any kind may be played by teams with a lead of twenty points or larger. Halftime shall be three minutes in length and overtime periods will be two minutes.  Each team shall provide one volunteer to assist at the scoring table. Teams in 3rd grade shall not be allowed to press until the second half and players may land beyond the 15' foul line on foul shots.
 
         For Grades 1 & 2, full court press is prohibited at all times. Teams are required to play man-to-man defense to teach the players basic fundamental defensive principles. No player has made a travel team when he got older because he "plays a great zone!" Trapping is not allowed outside the lane. However proper help defense is allowed. Coaches are required to coach their team within the spirit of the rules. For example, a coach who continually runs clear out or isolation plays may be determined to be in violation of the rules. Foul shots shall be approximately 12’ in length. Game times shall be two twelve minute halves, goal height is 9'.       

       Regular season league schedules shall be posted at the beginning of each season.  Special scheduling requests must be submitted prior to the first game.   In order to protect the integrity of the league, teams must honor their committment to field a team for each and every game as scheduled. Your team registration is your pledge to every team and player in the league that you will fulfill your committment to the league schedule. The Fieldhouse cannot guarantee games not played as originally scheduled will be rescheduled.  Games that can not be rescheduled will count as forfeits against the canceling team. Teams will pay a $50 cancellation fee to cover the cost of the officials the first time a game is cancelled. A second cancellation in a season will result in the team's removal from the league without refund. All teams must have a valid credit card on file to cover any cancellation fees incurred.

Due to court scheduling constraints, we unfortunately cannot guarantee games cancelled due to weather will be rescheduled.
