Team Registration is now Open!!!

Couple of important notes about our league:

 1.  Rough dates on the schedule at this point

·  Teams telling us whether they're in or not (only by web, no verbal, etc) - by 10/30/21

·  League Notification   - We will notify teams that are accepted into the 2022 NSBA league - by 11/06/2021.

·  Coaches and Player Registration and fees due - by 11/19/21

·  Regular season games - Every Saturday, beginning 1/8/22 (7 games)

·  Post season tourney – 2/21/22 to 2/26/22

 2.  We're a league that organizes teams by the high school district in which the elementary school resides.  All your players need to be zoned for the same high school district, players attending a private school can only play for a team comprised of players from the private school in question.  We have had an all-time low regarding the number of exceptions to this rule in the past, and will continue to decline exceptions to this rule unless there is a unique hardship involved

3.  We play Saturdays in our league (exceptions would possibly be games during the week for the post-season tourney). 

4.  We're a competitive league with a developmental lean, with rules that reflect that philosophy, especially in the younger grade divisions.

Here are a couple of data points regarding this year's league:

5. We think we will be able to accommodate up to 70-80 teams this year.   If we don't have enough gym space to accommodate interest, teams from schools that provide gym space get priority, followed by returning teams from schools that don't provide space, followed by new teams from schools that don’t provide gym space.

6. Registration costs will be $700 per team.

7.  We're a league that schedules games only - you're responsible for all practice arrangements, uniforms, etc..

8.  Board Representation – If you are interested in joining the NSBA Board, please send a message to your Age Group Director at their email or phone number noted below.    It is a great privilege to help facilitate a league that provides an opportunity to play basketball to over 700 kids in our area.  We would love to have your help!

That's it for now.  Tell us whether you're in for this year.
