We're excited to introduce a draft model for our 8U-13U youth basketball leagues. All players will participate in pre-season assessments, allowing coaches to evaluate skills and ensure balanced, competitive teams. This new format promotes fairness, development, and fun for everyone!

Assessment Dates:

• 8U Boys/Girls - Wednesday, October 29th
• 10U Boys/Girls - Wednesday, November 5th
• 12U Boys/13U Girls - Thursday, November 6th

*6U leagues and 15U leagues will NOT have assessments
**Time/Location for the assessments will be sent one week prior to the assessment date

-Players are strongly encouraged to attend assessments — it's the best way to ensure fair placement and team fit.
-Players who do not attend will still be placed on a team, but will be randomly assigned and not eligible to be drafted by a coach.

Teams will practice twice per week until the start of games -- typically Monday-Thursday evenings or Saturday mornings.

Once games begin, teams typically play 1-2 games per week and may have 1 practice per week. Games are played Monday-Thursday evenings.
