Hopkins Royals Boys Basketball Association (HRBBA) is a volunteer-run organization offering boys in 3rd - 8th grades a basketball program where they can develop skills and knowledge in a competitive atmosphere. To participate, players must meet at least one of these eligibility requirements:

• Attend a school within the Hopkins School District 270 boundary (public, private or charter) or the International Spanish Language Academy.
• Attend a private or charter school outside of the Hopkins School District boundary, and reside within the Hopkins School District boundary.
• Attend a home or online school and reside within the Hopkins School District boundary.

2024 - 2025 Player Registration is Now Open!

• HRBBA will now field two types of teams at the 3rd grade level: 

  • One competitive 3rd grade "Tournament Team" with between 8-10 players that will play a tournament-only schedule at the highest skill level (A/B/C) determined during the evaluation process. Parents will be prompted to "opt in" during the registration process for their player to be considered for the Tournament Team. Players who are not selected for the Tournament Team will be considered for one of the MYAS League teams. 

  • As many additional 3rd Grade MYAS League teams as possible with between 8-10 players each and skill levels evenly balanced between the teams. 

  • Hopkins 2nd graders may try out for the 3rd grade program. HRBBA will not accept player transfers, residency waivers or "no opportunity" for players below 3rd grade.

  • Learn more on the Program Overview and Registration pages.  

• All players (including returning players) must submit a birth certificate during the online registration process.

• All players must bring a $200 volunteer deposit check made out to Hopkins Royals Boys Basketball Association to tryouts on Saturday, Oct. 5.

• All 4th grade teams will play in the Rochester Tournament this year. 

• All returning players will reuse their jersey and shorts from last year. 

HRBBA is looking for paid coaches for grades 6-8. 

Candidates should possess the ability to work with motivated boys to develop basketball skills and play games in a competitive environment.  Practices are held two nights a week for all grades.  There are tournament games on weekends.
