Sporting Events and Activities
BASKETBALL
Gonzales Youth Basketball League is affiliated with Junior NBA. Registration is now open for the 2026-2027 season! To register, please use the link below:
In-person registration is available at the Freeland Jackson Center located at 1400 S. Darla Avenue, Gonzales, Louisiana 70737. Registration times are 7am-5pm, Monday-Thursday.
The age groups for GYBL are ages 6-7, 8-10, 11-12 and 13-15.
Badges for Basketball, I’m Great Volleyball, and Junior NBA will be updated when available.
After talking with our coaches, we’ve decided to wait until the new Freeland Jackson Center is complete before starting league play. This will help us avoid scheduling conflicts with AAU, Ascension Youth Basketball League, and Biddi Ball, and it means we’ll soon be able to enjoy basketball games year-round!
