KAK Winter Basketball 2026-2027 (K-6) - Kindergarten COED
Registration for KAK Recreation Youth Basketball 2026-2027 Season Opens, Monday, September 14th!Important Notes for Parents:
KAK Basketball, for the Towns of Kennebunkport, Arundel & Kennebunk, all registrations will go through Arundel Parks & Recreation.
Any Questions Regarding The 2026-2027 KAK Basketball Program should be directed to Tyler Bernaiche at (207) 286-9241 or sportscoordinator@arundelmaine.org
Registration Deadline: Monday, November 9th at 11:59PM
All communication regarding the program will be sent through email. Please make sure your account has the correct email attached and please make sure your provider settings are set to allow emails: noreply@myrecdepartment.com
We cannot accept any team or teammate requests. In the past we have tried to honor these requests but in recent seasons we received too many to accommodate and this caused too many administrative conflicts.
Message from Tyler Bernaiche, "If your child has other commitments during the week, please email me the days they CANNOT practice on. I will assign them to teams that practice on nights available to them. This only goes for grades 3-6. I trust that parents are being truthful and not saying they can't practice on certain nights just to stack teams. This saves a lot of work after teams and schedules are finalized if your child can't practice on a certain day. Thank you!"
