Weekend athletes play ball for fun, competition Weekend athletes can test their athletic prowess against the likes of Julie Cushing and other current and former University basketball players by claiming a spot on a Eugene city-league basketball team. "Wherever they’ll let us play," the city-league teams take to the court, says Mary Kay Hessel, Eugene Parks and Recreation Department (EPRD) athletics supervisor. League games are played at various schools. And it’s not too late to join this year’s winter league, which began in December and continues through March 1. The 96 Eugene city-league basketball teams have until Jan. 23 to add new players to their 16-player rosters. Although Hessel says she isn’t sure which teams, if any, have room for additional players, she says most teams don't have a consistent number of team members at games. New players submit an add-form to the EPRD office for approval. Phone-in additions are not acceptable. Players who live outside Eugene must pay a $5 registration fee. City league basketball teams, whether AAU men's-league or "Over 30" league, provide a level of competition suitable for the weekend athlete or the former college ballplayer. Any high school graduate can join a city-league team, while high school students can compete on a church team with Hessel’s approval. The teams are classified into leagues based on skill levels. The competition ranges from the top-flight men’s AAU teams, which include many ex-college players, to the ‘over 30" leagues. Two women's leagues field eight teams, which include several current and ex-University players. The entrance fee for men’s AAU and A teams is $181, and $161 for all other leagues. The fees pay for officials, score and time keepers, trophies, printing and postage. This year there are six teams in every league, each playing a ten-game double round-robin. This year’s leagues include the men's AAU, men's and women’s A and B, men's B major and intermediate, men’s C, men’s leftover, and men’s over 30. In women's A-league play, the Flakensteins, managed by former Oregon basketball player Chrisanne Briot, have won their first two games by margins of about 30 points. The Flakensteins team also includes former Oregon women basketball players Cushing, Rachel Thompson and Tara Smith.
