LEAGUE INFORMATION

KAC Basketball is a developmental, youth basketball league located in the east Honolulu area organized and run entirely by volunteers.  We aspire to provide a fun and high quality basketball experience to all players.  Registration is open to players, ages 5-16, of all skill levels.  Annually, we run three seasons:  Spring Girls, Summer Coed, Winter Coed.  There are no boys only season.

VOLUNTEER COACHES:  The success of every KAC Basketball season relies on its volunteer coaches.  Without coaches, the league simply won’t exist.  Please consider volunteering to coach if you are able to.  Division Directors will answer any questions you have and can provide guidance and help if needed.  Please contact us at kacbasketball@gmail.com.
