Commitment:
This is not a practice league.  Players in grades 2 – 8 MUST be able to commit to a one-hour practice, 1-2 nights/week plus a game on Saturday. Limited availability to practice may impact your child’s ability to participate. Please ensure that you have correctly indicated your child’s availability at registration.
 
Teams:
Please note that we do not accept requests to have your child paired with a specific coach or another player. Teams will be created based on availability to practice, grade, and rating.
 
Mandatory Rating Sessions:
Players in grades 3 – 8 will be evaluated in non-competitive, rating sessions in order to form balanced teams.  Players should wear sneakers.  Basketballs will be provided.
