• The league philosophy is for the youth to have fun playing recreational basketball this summer. We try to form as equal of teams as we can; therefore we have Evaluations of the players. No one gets cut, however, if you are not evaluated, you could be subject for a refund.
• Evaluation Times: mandatory that you attend one of the Evaluation Times. If you cannot attend, you must arrange for a private evaluation time. 
• We play by high school rules with a few moderations (we play 4 on 4 full court, you get 6 fouls, not 5, etc.).  
• Team make-up: there is usually 1-2 girls and 5-7 boys per team. All leagues have 7 players on their roster.
• Games: "To the Hoop" has 6 league games with no playoffs and no standings. Their score is kept on the scoreboard and in the scorebook. They play on Wednesday only. "Rim Rockers" and "Above the Rim" have 8 guaranteed games. They play two games per week. Standings are kept and we have playoffs.
• Playing Time Requirements: leagues have playing time requirements. Players play the entire 1^st or 2^nd quarter without coming out. After that, they should be playing at least 9 or more minutes in the game = about ½ of the game or more. Scorekeeper keeps track of playing time.
• There are no requests allowed to be with friends or relatives. Only siblings can be on the same team if requested. Time to meet some new friends.
• Coaches: are all volunteers and must fill out a Coaching Application and pass the Livescan background check that is done by the United States Department of Justice. All teams will have a volunteer coach. 
• Practice times are up to the coach. Usually these are held on Saturday or Sunday in the Rec. Center gym but could be held elsewhere on weekdays or weekends. Some coaches may not practice as they are not mandatory.
