Clinic Information
  • Clinics are provided for the following age groups only (see separate clinic schedule which can be found in Forms & Handouts section of the web site):
    • Boys – 2nd thru 6th grade
    • Girls – 2nd thru 6th grade
    • Boys & Girls – 7th thru 12th grade hold clinics during December
  • The Upper Makefield Basketball League is instructional in its orientation.  The primary objective of the clinics is to introduce the skills needed to play the game of basketball.  Drill stations will consist of dribbling, passing, shooting, defense and offensive spacing/movement.  We also use the clinics to evaluate skill levels to ensure we assemble evenly balanced teams.


Intramurals
  • Our intramural program consists of a minimum 10-game schedule starting the weekend of December 5th/6th and runs through the second weekend in March (March 13th/14th). 
  • Practices for grades 3rd thru 6th will start the week of November 16th.  There will be one, one-hour practice per week for these grades.  The 2nd grade program and the high school program (grades 7th up) will not practice during the week. 
  • We are extending the intramural season for the 2009-2010 season to address the missed dates for national holidays and the uncertainity of school closures due to inclimate weather.
  • We do not keep a record of our wins and losses in our intramural league.  The goal is not to identify a league champion.
  • Tentative age group game times and locations are as follows:

    • Boys 2nd grade – Sunday @ Sol Feinstone Elementary 11:00 to 2:00 pm

    • Boys 3rd grade – Saturday @ Grey Nun Academy – times vary

    • Boys 4th grade – Saturday @ Grey Nun Academy – times vary

    • Boys 5th grade – Saturday & Sunday @ Grey Nun Academy – times vary

    • Boys 6th grade – Saturday & Sunday @ Grey Nun Academy – times vary

    • Boys 7th – 12th grade – Sunday @ George School 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm

    • Girls 3rd & 4th grade – Saturday @ Sol Feinstone Elementary – times vary

    • Girls 5th & 6th grade – Saturday @ Sol Feinstone Elementary – times vary

    • Girls 7th –12th grade – Sunday @ Newtown Elementary 11:00am to 1:00pm

  • Intramural coaching commitment requires organizing one (1) practice a week and coaching one (1) game per weekend.  In some cases, coaches are asked to referee games either prior to or after their scheduled game.  All coaches MUST attend the coach’s clinic prior to the start of the season.

  • All players and parents are asked to respect the gym property and to behave in an acceptable manner during the season.  Any abusive behavior or foul language will result in the immediate dismissal of coach, player or parent from the league.  The league enforces a code of conduct that all parents are asked to review and become familiar with.


Travel Teams

  • Our travel teams play in the ICBA Travel League.  We typically field teams in both boys (grades 4th thru 8th) and girls (grades 5th thru 8th).

  • Participation on a travel team requires a commitment as there may be two practices a week during pre-season and then two travel games a week for the months of Decmeber, January and February.

  • The ICBA enforces a September 1st birthday cut-off for each age group although there are three age exemptions allowed per team. Qualifying birth dates for each age group is as follows:

    • 4th grade – September 1, 1999 – August 31, 2000

    • 5th grade – September 1, 1998 – August 31, 1999

    • 6th grade – September 1, 1997 – August 31, 1998

    • 7th grade - September 1, 1996 - August 31, 1997

    • 8th grade - September 1, 1995 - August 31, 1996

  • Travel players in grades 4th thru 6th are required to play in the intramural program.

  • Travel players must live in the Council Rock School District School and/or attend Grey Nun Academy, Newtown Friends and/or the George School.

  • Travel coaches will advise travel tryouts once registration is completed – after October 5th.

  • Travel teams typically have no more than 10-players per team (maximum of 12 players are allowed on a roster).

  • Travel team tryouts consist of one or more practices depending on age group.

  • Refunds for those players who do not make a travel team will be issued in a timely and efficient manner.
