We have a limited number of spots available to players outside of our zoned schools who are interested in playing for the Klein Broncos. Interested players must email our Athletic Director at kleinbroncosad@gmail.com with a request to be placed on the Broncos. Not all requests can be granted due to team size/recruiting restrictions.

All players must play in the area zoned to your home address. If you recently moved into a different zoned area you can request a transfer during legacy registration.
