The fifth annual Acreage Basketball League, part of the Acreage Athletic League organization, is now underway.
This summer recreational basketball league started on Saturday, June 9 and will conclude with championship games on Saturday, July 26.
This summer, there are 220 players on the rosters of 26 teams. The youngest participants are five, and the oldest are 18 in the co-ed league.
According to administrator Wendy Rojas, the league was created by a former board member who felt the creation of such a league would fill a void in the daily summertime lives of children living in The Acreage.
“The league was started by one of our board members who thought that kids still needed something to do during the summer,” Rojas said.
While the league is based in The Acreage, with all games being played inside the gymnasium at Osceola Creek Middle School, the participants are from The Acreage, Royal Palm Beach, Wellington and Palm Beach Gardens.
Each game has two experienced adult referees under the coordination of Rich Schiliro. League sponsors this summer are AMP Deliveries, United Utility Services, Acreage Flag Football, Blue Pool Green Lawn, the Acreage Athletic League, Acreage Elite Flag Travel, Go Green, DM Printing, Baking By Brad, Florida Elite Billing, Forts USA, DME Utility Services, Performance NAPA, Stomping Out The Stigma, Sansone, Starr Family Dentistry, Superior Home Improvement, Reliable Gold Carts, MEL Equine Appraisals, Southern Septic and Casa Ceramica.
