Parks & Community Services offers adult men's basketball, women’s basketball, coed volleyball and women's volleyball leagues three times a year – for winter, spring and fall seasons. To provide something for everyone, the city offers several levels of play, ranging from recreational to highly competitive.
Games and matches are played in some of the nicest gyms in the area at various Bellevue Parks and Bellevue School District locations. The gyms are easy to get to, well-maintained, with quality equipment. The leagues are supervised by Parks staff; basketball is officiated by trained members of the Pacific Northwest Basketball Officials Association while volleyball is self-officiated.
Teams can register online during open enrollment for the next scheduled league. Registrations are also accepted by email, mail and walk-in.
Not on a team? A list of interested players is maintained and made available to team managers looking for additional players. For additional information and registration packets, email Leagues@bellevuewa.gov or call 425-452-4479.
