365 Hoops Basketball League Winter 2026 Cameron Gnatt

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an update and be transparent about where things stand with the schedule.

Some organizations have expressed concerns about extending the season, as it may impact their spring schedules. At this time, extending the season has been the only guaranteed option available. If we do not extend the season, we would need to completely redo the schedule in order to accommodate the 50+ games that still need to be rescheduled.

That said, please know we are still actively exploring additional alternatives. Some of these options may require teams to travel farther than they are typically used to and/or increased flexibility with scheduling. This could include situations where teams may need to play up to 3–4 games in a single weekend.

We are absolutely open to feedback and suggestions and appreciate everyone sharing their concerns. Please keep in mind that we are doing the best we can with the options available, and our goal is to complete the season as fairly and smoothly as possible for all teams.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we work through this together.

Best,
Alea

Hi everyone,

Quick correction to my previous message — the update applies to Saturday 2/28, not Friday.

Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate everyone’s flexibility as we work through the scheduling challenges.

Please continue to stay safe and warm.

Best,
Alea

Hello everyone,

My apologies for the delay in getting this update out. Thank you for your patience as we worked through gym availability and rescheduling.

As of right now, please note the following changes:

-All Saturday games originally scheduled will move to Friday, 2/28
-Games scheduled for 2/1 will move to 3/1
-Playoffs are currently scheduled for 3/7–3/8, unless I am able to secure additional gym time on Friday evenings, which could allow us to adjust that schedule.

I will continue to keep everyone updated if anything changes or if additional gym time becomes available. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we work to get all games completed.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Best,
Alea

I hope everyone is staying safe and warm.

I just received word that Montgomery County has canceled school for the remainder of the week, which unfortunately means the gyms will not be available for community use this weekend. As of now, all games scheduled for this weekend are canceled.

I know this is frustrating, especially after already losing time due to the previous snowstorm. Please know that we are actively working to find alternative options, including churches and gyms in other counties. Some of these options may not be ideal or convenient, but we are doing our best to keep the season moving and avoid falling further behind.

I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work through this. I will continue to send updates as soon as I have more information.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Best,
Alea Boyd

Hello everyone,

All games scheduled for today are still on as scheduled.

Due to the severe winter storm expected to begin tonight, all games scheduled for tomorrow are unfortunately canceled for safety reasons.

I am actively working on getting these games rescheduled. Please note that we have a very short window to make up games before playoffs begin, so some teams may need to be a bit flexible with scheduling.

If any teams are available on Friday nights, please let me know — we may be able to secure additional gym time to help get games in.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I will provide updates as they become available.

Please stay safe and warm, and I will see you next weekend!


Best regards,
Alea Boyd

Hello everyone,

The schedule has been posted. Please take a moment to review it and let me know as soon as possible if you notice any issues so I can address them quickly.

Please note:

-The regular season will end on 2/22
-Playoffs and championships will take place 2/28–3/1

I understand that things can come up unexpectedly; however, as much as possible, please do not wait until the week of a game to let me know you have an issue. At that point, I cannot guarantee the issue will be resolved. We have a very tight window this season, so rescheduling games will not occur unless due to weather or a league-related issue.

If you have not done so already, please make sure your rosters are submitted. If you are having any trouble with rosters, please send me a message and I will be happy to help.

Thank you,
Alea Boyd

Hi Coaches,

I hope everyone is having a great holiday! I’ve just made some updates to the schedule based on team availability, and notifications should have gone out.

Please take a moment to review the schedule at your earliest convenience. If any of the changes do not work for your team, let me know as soon as possible—the longer we wait, the more difficult it becomes to make adjustments.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday, and I’ll see everyone in the new year!

Best,
Alea

Hello Coaches and Team Administrators,

All schedule requests were due by 12/19, and the schedule was released based on the information provided. Since the schedule went out, we’ve been notified that several teams are unavailable to play on January 3–4.


If your team cannot play on those dates, you must update this in the schedule request form that was previously sent as soon as possible.

Please note:

-After this weekend, if a request is not listed in the schedule request form and your team is scheduled but cannot play, the game will be marked as a forfeit and will not be made up.

-We are managing nearly 80 teams, so while I will do my best, I cannot guarantee every schedule request will be honored.

Please disregard the schedule that was sent out today, as major changes will need to be made.

Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation.

Best,
Alea Boyd

Hello Coaches and Team Managers,

Hello everyone,

We were notified about an hour ago that, due to forecasts calling for extremely cold temperatures and 1–3 inches of snow overnight, all games scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday 12/14, are canceled.

Community use of all schools on 12/14 has been canceled, making it impossible to hold games. Unfortunately, there are no alternatives at this time.

We sincerely apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause. All games will be rescheduled at a later date, and updated information will be shared as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Coaches,

Welcome to all the new teams joining us this winter, and welcome back to our returning teams! We truly appreciate your support and are excited for another great season.

The schedule for Opening Weekend has been posted. If you haven’t done so already, please make sure your team rosters are submitted before your first game.

A few reminders to share with your families:

-There is an admission fee each weekend.
-Age/grade verifications are required for all players. Anyone without proper verification will not be allowed to play.
-The schools we use are not the best when it comes to cell service, so please advise parents to plan accordingly.

We also encourage families to take advantage of the Season Pass, which offers the best value. It covers each player’s family members for the regular season only. Season Passes will not be valid during playoffs.

If you have any schedule conflicts, please notify me by Wednesday. As we get closer to game day, it becomes much more difficult to make adjustments.

I will be your point of contact throughout the season and will also be handling the scheduling. My goal is to release the full season schedule before the new year. I will also be at one of the gyms each weekend, so feel free to stop by the admission table with any questions, concerns, or just to say hi.

If you need anything, feel free to reach out — I usually respond within the hour.

Thank you again for your support. Let’s have an amazing winter season! I can’t wait to meet/see you all soon.



Best regards,

Alea Boyd
