PRACTICE SCHEDULE
Practices for the BGL will commence on December 12 (Grades 3-4) and continue on Saturday, December 13 (other Grades). The actual schedule will be posted to the site over the weekend of December 5-7.
Please be aware that there may not be a sufficient number of available time slots for all teams to practice that first weekend.
We are also not yet sure if the gym is available on December 19 and 20, so please continue to check the site for practice times and league information.
GYM SAFETY
PARENTS- Please DO NOT allow your child to bring basketballs to the gym.
Balls continue to roll onto the court during play and someone is going to get hurt. Leave all basketballs at home!!!
INFORMATION FOR NEW FAMILIES
October 20, 2008
A few facts about the typical BGL season:
Games are held on Friday nights (5:30 to 9:00 PM) and Saturday (all day) from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM
Grades 3-4 (boys & girls) generally play on Friday nights and/or late Saturday morning.
Grades 1-2 play first thing Saturday mornings. Boys start at 7:00 AM and the girls usually play at around 8:15 or so.
After the Grades 1-2 and 3-4 games are completed on Saturdays, the schedule will GENERALLY then be Grades 5-6 and then Grades 7-8 later in the day/evening. But there is exceptions and the schedule will differ week to week. The only sure thing is Grades 1-2 early Saturday and Grades 3-4 on Friday night.
We expect to have one or two practice sessions in mid-December. Games will start in January for all divisions (Grades 5-6 and 7-8 may have one game in December).
Gym time is very scarce based on the many Parish and School functions held in the AAC, so practice times are very limited, if any. We do try to use the two Monday holidays (January and February) for practice sessions, unless we need to make up games that are cancelled due to weather.
Game schedules can only be assembled after determining the number of teams in each division- and that can only be accomplished after registration is completed. Please pass the word around that registration has begun so we can avoid the dreaded late sign-up's.
DRAFT DATE & TIMES FINALIZED
November 23, 2008
The draft of players will be held in the gym on Sunday night, November 30th, for both the Boys and Girls Leagues. Times are as follows:
From 6:00 to 7:15- Boys 3-4; Girls 7-8; and Girls 3-4
From 7:15 to 8:15- Girls 5-6 and Boys 5-6 & Boys 7-8
There is no draft for Grades 1-2. The League will assign players to all teams after the first week of clinics.
NO PLAYERS OR PARENTS SHOULD ATTEND THE DRAFT- COACHES ONLY.

November 13, 2008
As indicated in the many e-mails sent to all parents of players from last season, the online registration closed as of 11/10/09. We received a number of calls stating that the registration was closed on Saturday and Sunday, it was not. We had over 75 players sign up over the weekend and through 11/10/08, when the online process ended.
If you did not register during the open period, please send an e-mail to the following e-mail address with your name, your child's name and grade-

We need to accumulate the names and number of late sign-up's and will then instruct you as to the late registration process. Please remember that there is no guarantee that your son/daughter will have a spot on a roster, but we will do our best to accomodate the late registrants.
A late fee of $25 will is required to be paid in addition to the regular registration fee.
