Program information
Registration information
- Open to all children in kindergarten through seventh grade
- Skills evaluations are done in October. Schedule, details and signups are in the confirmation email when you register for the program.
- The season runs November through mid-February.
Register early!
- If a division becomes full, you will have the opportunity to register on a wait list. Every year players are added to the program from the wait list, especially if more coaches volunteer.
- Questions on wait list status should be directed to Frank Brennan.
Volunteers needed
- The size of the program is determined by the number of coaches that volunteer. Basketball experience helps, but is not required, especially in the younger divisions. We can help you develop practice plans and game strategies.
- The Archdiocese of Atlanta requires that all volunteers interacting with children submit background applications and attend a meeting on child safety. We ask coaches to attend the skills evaluation for their division if possible. Please consider coaching. Let’s not leave any children out.
- Contact Frank Brennan for answers to any questions that you may have and to express interest in coaching.
Parent commitment
- Parents, you are making a commitment to assure your child’s attendance at practices and games. Attendance is equally important whether your child is the most skilled or a novice.
- Teams practice once a week for one hour. Usually, practice is on the same day and at the same time every week.
- Teams play one game a week on the weekend.
Participation
Each player who regularly attends practice and tries to be a good teammate will play a minimum of half of every game.
Time conflicts
We will make every attempt to avoid conflicts between practice schedules and RELIGIOUS EDUCATION classes. Please provide the necessary information when registering.
Player fee
The registration fee is $150. The fee includes:
- Uniform t-shirt
- Coaches' gifts (see below)
- End-of-season recognition for players
- End-of-season team celebration
Coaches' gifts
Part of each fee will be donated to Curing Kids Cancer in honor of the coaches in our program. This donation, made at the request of our coaches, is in lieu of a gift to them at the end of the season. Thank you for supporting the coaches in this request.
Withdrawals and refunds
- Please inform us as soon as possible if your plans change and your child will not play. That will help give another child the chance to register and play.
- There will be a $10 administration fee deducted from all refunds.
Skills evaluation
If you did not sign up for a skills evaluation time at the time of your registration, please see the link in your registration confirmation email.
- To the best of our ability, we will form balanced teams based on player’s skills.
- Your child must attend the skills evaluation. Please refer to the skills evaluation schedule for the scheduled day and time. Please make the scheduled time.
- If your child cannot attend the evaluation on the day and time assigned, please notify us to arrange a makeup session. Have your player dress in a short sleeve shirt, shorts, and sneakers.
- Please make sure your child understands that this is not a try out. It is simply a workout that helps us form balanced teams. Your child should come to the gym at the time scheduled. Please plan for your child to stay for the entire time slot.
Team assignments and practice schedules
- Coaches will call players assigned to their team. Please be patient as all players will not be called on the same day. If you have not heard about your team assignment, contact Frank Brennan.
- Your coach will tell you the day and time of your practices.
