Current Guidelines Won't Allow Mokena Youth Basketball League

MOKENA, IL — The Mokena Community Park District shared that its popular youth basketball leagues won't happen this year, unless current guidelines change. According to a post on its Facebook page, competitive play is not allowed for basketball currently.

"If the guidelines change, we will run the league, even if it ends up being shorter than usual," the park district said.

The park district will update residents on its website and email last year's participants if registration opens.

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health website, basketball is considered a medium risk sport. With current health guidelines, this means that basketball leagues can have no-contact practices and intra-team scrimmages are allowed.
