Plans are taking shape for the third year of action in the Mon Valley Independent Summer Basketball League and registration for players is now open for new and returning players.
Players can easily register online by going to MVISBL.com and clicking on the boys and girls registration tabs.
This summer will be the third year of league play at Marx’s Court Time Sports Center in Elizabeth Township and the league shows no signs of slowing down when it comes to the growth of its reach.
Along with representatives from our local Mon Valley districts, the league continues to grow with players from Trinity, Bethel Park, Laurel Highlands, Obama Academy, South Fayette, Chartiers Valley, Oakland Catholic, Mt. Lebanon, Peters Township, Canon-McMillan and more.
So far this season, registrations have been received from players at Penn-Trafford, Albert Gallatin and Gateway.
