FAQ
- What are the league fees?
Fees for the 2009-2010 season are $140 for the first child in a family and $90 for each additional child. After October 20th, a late fee will be $155 for each child. (C League application fees will remain at $140 until November 20th.)
- What do the fees cover?
Fees cover gym rentals, referees, uniforms, equipment and trophies. Gym rentals (paid to the city of Newton) were increased by over 30% since 2007. These are our largest single cost for the league.
- Do you provide refunds for children who drop out of the league?
We only provide refunds for drop-outs up until teams are made - October 29th. This date is very important to the league as once we make up teams it is very difficult to make changes and to preserver competitive balance. (In the event of a drop-out due to unforeseen family circumstances, you can make a request to the league board of directors for consideration of a refund.)
- Can you put my child on a team with a neighbor for car pool purposes?
Sorry, but it is not possible to honor individual car pool requests. The league is too large and our priority is to balance teams by ability.
- When are practices held?
Each team is assigned one practice night per week for one hour. Practices are held from Sunday through Thursday evenings. Individual practices are assigned to teams based on coaches preferences. At registration you may designate one night as a night you cannot practice. Please consider this request carefully. We cannot change your "no practice" night request after teams are assigned. Note: Preseason practices are generally NOT on the same days or evenings as the regular season practices.
- Where are games and practices held?
Games and practices for all leagues except the C league are held at Brown Middle School. C league games and practices are held at Underwood.
- Can my child play "travel" basketball and play in the NAA league?
Many children do play both travel and NAA basketball. However, the league requests that if you do decide to play both, you make a commitment to attend both practices and games for the NAA and once assigned to a team make a commitment to play the entire season. If you cannot make a reasonable commitment to the NAA team, it is generally best to not sign up and later drop out as our team balances are affected by the loss of the "travel" players who often are stronger players.
- What if I am uncertain if my child will make a travel team?
Most travel teams are selected prior to the NAA league drop-out deadline (October 29th this year.) You can register for the NAA and as long as you notify the league prior to October 29th you will receive a refund. Of course, we request that you notify us as soon as you know your child's status.
