In the event that we partner with another area league, league rules / draft rules are subject to change based upon the league that we partner / combine with.
* In the event that a limited number of participants register for the boy’s 15-17 year old league, all 15-year-old boys will be combined with the 13-14 year old division, and the league will become the boys 13-15 year old division.

SKILLS DAYS
With the exception of the Instructional League (ages 5-6), all participants are required to attend at least one of two (2) skills days, although they are encouraged to attend both. The skills days will provide training / practice opportunities for each participant while also allowing coaches and Parks and Recreation staff the opportunity to evaluate each participant.
The participant evaluations are critical, as they provide detailed information for the coaches to select players during the league draft.
Every child that participates in the 2009-10 Youth Winter Basketball League will be selected through the random draft. Participants that do not attend at least one (1) of the two (2) skills days for their age division will not be drafted during the player draft on November 18th-23rd.
At the conclusion of the regular draft, coaches will randomly select participants that did not attend a skills session, based on the order in which the draft was conducted.
