  MEET HOSTING FORM

Due Date:  August 1, 2025

The Meet Hosting Form will allow you to send us all of the information we will need to set the hosting date(s) for your teams to host during the 2025-2026 season of The Great Northwest Basketball League. 

Pages 3-6 of this Meet Hosting Form must be submitted on or before August 1, 2025.  If your community wants to host a boys meet, or one for 6th, 5th or 4th grade girls, and you miss the August 1 deadline, we MIGHT (there are no guarantees) be able to accommodate your desire to host if we need the space and if you're able to host on a date that works for the League.  However, if you're involved with an 8th grade girls or 7th grade girls team, we will actually begin scheduling for those grades on or about August 1 – making a late request to host very difficult, if not impossible, to have a team host.

The cost to play in a three-game League meet during the 2025-2026 season will be $130.  Host teams will receive a hosting credit of $60 per team hosted.  A small number of teams still have an outstanding unpaid balance for the 2024-2025 season.  If you have an outstanding balance, you need to address this immediately.  We will not process 2025-2026 enrollments from any coach, team or program until the unpaid balance is settled.

It is important that you thoroughly read the League Rules on the website at GNBL.ORG.  If you have not read these, do so before completing this Meet Hosting Form.  The following are points of particular importance:

• Meet Hosting Form.  All communities or school districts are strongly encouraged – although not absolutely required – to submit one unified Meet Hosting Form for all teams from their community or school district.  By “one unified" Meet Hosting Form, we mean that all teams in a given community/school district submit one of these forms for all the boys and girls teams playing in the League.  We realize that in some communities the boys and girls operate under very different organizational umbrellas and prefer to submit separate forms. 

• The earlier you submit your Meet Hosting Form, the more likely that you'll be able to host on your preferred date.  Communities that do not submit Meet Hosting Forms until the August 1 deadline (or later) may not receive the choice of date(s) they want to host.  For example, if you have a 7th grade girls "A" team and they want to host on December 6, but you don't submit your hosting form until August 1, we may have already exceeded the number of meets the League can accommodate on that date, or at least in your area and at your ability level and we will not be able to have your team host on that date.  At that point, you'll either need to secure an alternate host date that works into the schedule or you'll be unable to host.  Every season, at several grade levels, especially 8th and 7th grade girls, we have too many communities that want to host.  Preferential treatment will be given to those communities that submitted their hosting forms early (along with other considerations, such as the total number of meets hosted by that community relative to meets played). 

• Hosting Flexibility.  One of the things we strive to accomplish with this approach is more flexibility on host dates.  For instance, if a community would ideally like 5th grade girls to host on December 6 and 6th grade boys to host on December 13, we expect that the host dates could be reversed if it works out best for the League schedule.

The League can accommodate hosts who have anywhere between one and six courts available on their hosting date.  Please see League Rule B-5 (pages 5-6) for a detailed listing of formatting using different numbers of courts.

Fourth grade teams will have the option of playing some of their games in 5th grade meets, if there isn't a sufficient supply of 4th grade hosts.  Fourth grade meets (whether for boys or girls), will be scheduled only in the months of January and February.
