If you already have a PLAYMETRICS account, click on the Log On link, sign in and you will see an option for the Program named Wake County Basketball.  If you have not used PLAYMETRICS before, you will need to create an account. 

Your username will be your email address, and you can establish a password that works for you.  PLAYMETRICS will then ask you to confirm your account.  After confirming your account, you will be able to sign on and register your player. 

We use grade levels to determine our age groups.  Age groups are shown below and are based on the grade your player is in for the 2025-26 school year. So....all players "move up" from the just completed school year.

There is no “perfect birthdate” for the system to determine which grade your player is in and you may not have an option to register for the grade he/she is in.   Contact us at wcbahoops@gmail.com with any questions.

Key dates:

The season includes 4-5 practices and 8-10 games depending on age group and registration numbers.  

The cost is $265 for grades 3-12 and $165 for grades 1-2.  

Please note:  if you are new to the WCBA, you will need to order a jersey as well.   A jersey is $25 and can be used in future seasons.  If you currently have a jersey, you do not need to order another one.

The gym we use mostly is the Boys & Girls Club, Fox Rd. (formerly called The Dream Center) @ 5616 Fox Road, We will use other north Raleigh gyms (TBD) if demand warrants adding gym space.

We will need volunteer coaches!!  Please indicate on your registration that you would like to coach. 

We have been consistently selling out each season, so please register early.

Registration is open for both the Spring Rec League and Travel Team Tryouts.

Travel Team Tryouts will be held on:

We encourage you to register for the Rec league as well so if you don't make a Travel team you will be in the Rec league. Only 8-10 kids will make a Travel Team

 Difference between Travel and Rec Ball

We get asked all the time which level a player should play in and there are a lot of variables. 

Rec league

Rec league is great for kids that just want to play more than one sport or for families that have multiple kids with multiple schedules and just want to stay active and play and not have all the pressure of playing at higher levels. Teams are small and everyone is guaranteed a minimum of playing half the game. Cost and time commitment is way lower!

Travel Teams

Travel is for a few select kids that are dedicated basketball players looking for more practice, games and competition. Playing time is not guaranteed (there may be games a player doesn’t play at all or only a few minutes) and there is way more emphasis placed on winning and advancing through a tournament. It is a large time and financial commitment. There are all kinds of levels of “Travel Teams”. Some are no higher level than WCBA Rec league, but people love the idea of being on a “Travel Team”. Others are incredibly high level and come with all the pressures of that level. WCBA will offer 1-2 Travel teams at each grade level. 

Travel expenses will vary based on age group and level. Younger teams will travel less than older teams. Just to give you all the pros and cons Travel tournaments are expensive and charge anywhere from $20-$25/person per day to attend so a family can spend a couple hundred dollars per weekend attending tournaments.
