Are you a hoops player? Do you got game? Did you have game at one point and want to get back into it? Did you never have game but are fascinated by big orange balls? Whatever your hoops interest, Sports Monster has you covered with the most comprehensive basketball program in Chicago.

Sports Monster basketball has grown over the years to become one of the largest leagues in Chicago. With our paid referees for all skill levels and 9 weeks of action per season, many players have joined Sports Monster to get more dunks for their bucks. Women`s, men`s and our popular coed leagues are offered in different skill levels and formats.

Sports Monster also supports the Jan Ehrenberg Scholarship Foundation to benefit high school student athletes. Thanks to your participation in any of our JESF basketball tournaments or Sports Monster seasonal leagues, Sports Monster makes a donation to JESF on your behalf.

Signing up as an individual? You can register online or if you are mailing or faxing your info into us, please include your height, age, preferred position(s) and level of experience (ex: high school, pick-up, college, etc). Sports Monster creates new independent teams and we try to match up players to form the best unit possible. We will accept groups of up to 4 and guarantee same team placement. Please note that Sports Monster will put a maximum of 10 players on any independent team but usually we have 8 per team for more playing time.

Full teams are always welcome to register. Please note that you will need to have numbered shirts for this league on/by Week 2 of the regular season.

Whether you have a team, a group of up to four (4), or are signing up by yourself, we`ll get you on the court for the upcoming season. Sports Monster basketball is offered in three (3) skill levels:

• Intermediate: Are you six-foot or under? Are your skills not where you would like them to be? Are you looking to get out on the courts to just shoot a few threes? Than the Intermediate level is for you.
  
  The guys and gals in this league can drain the occasional three, run fast-breaks pretty good and are out there to have a good time.
  
  
• Competitive: Sports Monster`s Competitive level is our best competitive level. Players comfortable in a high school or college level will enjoy the play here.
  
  All areas of the game: passing, shooting, defense are played well but each team will have one or two areas of weakness or inconsistency that may be taken advantage of. There are no unskilled players at this level, some college experience players but the majority are IM, club or high school experienced players who execute and understand the game well.
  
  Competitive level players understand how to run plays and can successfully execute the x`s and o`s of the game.
  
  
• Open: Our open level means that it is open to both the competitive and intermediate levels. We offer this level so that either skill level can join. Once a league with an open skill level starts to fill, we will set it as intermediate or competitive.
