Taunton sports roundup, Sept. 28 to Oct. 4

TAUNTON --

YOUTH LEAGUES -- Taunton Youth Basketball's registration period has moved past the deadline cited in earlier announcements. The league's website now states that registration for the 2026-27 season "is now open and will remain open through Sunday, October 4," while a separate notice on the same page says the Metrowest registration "Remains open for Girls grade 5-8th only" and "will close for Girls Oct 13th."

The full tryout schedule, open to registered players only, is: girls on Tuesday, Oct. 6 and Tuesday, Oct. 13, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Taunton High School; boys in grades 4-6 on Wednesday, Oct. 7 and Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.; and boys in grades 7-8 on Wednesday, Oct. 7 and Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 7:30 to 9 p.m., all at THS.

The league fee is $350, with a $100 uniform fee for players needing a new uniform; $175 is due at registration, with the balance due before the first game. Players who do not make a team will be refunded their registration payment. The Metrowest League season runs a 12-game schedule beginning in December and continuing through mid-March depending on playoff results.
