| ABOUT OUR LEAGUES
The Youth Association focuses on Child Development on and off the basketball court. Our motto “Teaching young Athletes life's lessons and values through Athletics while focusing on FUN, FITNESS & FELLOWSHIP as its key principles” is the foundation in which this program rests on. Our Recreational program forms teams based upon the following format:
COACH REQUEST - If a child wants to play for a certain coach and that coach has not exceeded the total number of players allowed, then we try and place that child with that coach.
PLAYER REQUEST – Generally this is not a problem because we all know that friends want to play with other friends when they can, so if the requested friend registers and they do not have other restrictions such as coach request, then we try and honor the request and place the friends together.
GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION - When one of the first two are not received then we place players with other players as close to home or school as possible in an effort that they may recognize players or start forming new friendships.
BLIND DRAFT – Well sometimes we just cannot fulfill one of the other three so we then try and form teams by simply using the equal balance drafting procedure in which we go through all registrations left in a division and take one from each pile. The “Pile” is broken down by age and gender.
Once all teams are formed we then rely on Volunteer Coaches to teach your child during the basketball season. If you have ever wanted to get involved with your child, coaching is a great way to do it. Also, all head coaches receive a 50% discount on their child's registration that plays on that team.
The First step after registration and team formation is the coaches meeting. During this meeting, items such as rules, rosters, and codes of conduct for coaches, players and spectators are discussed. Also, during this meeting each coach has the opportunity to request a practice time that is suitable to their busy schedule. After the meeting the coaches are asked to contact all players on their roster and let them know when practice will be held and the coach's information such as name, and phone number.
Also, parents can click on the link “FIND MY CHILD'S COACH” to see what coach they have been assigned to and also what night and time they may practice (Spring, Summer and Fall Season ONLY), once the coach meeting is held. Once you have been contacted and the first practice is held, the coach will let you know of the first game time, schedules are available at the front counter in the racks as well as here on the internet. It is always best to check the internet for schedule revisions or updates because we do not always reprint schedules for minor changes. Most coaches will have their players show up about 15 minutes early so that the uniform t-shirt can be given and put on.
From there, you are on your way to an exciting season here within the Sports of All Sorts Youth Association.
