The purpose of the Branchburg Basketball Association shall be the promotion of the game of basketball for youth in Branchburg within an environment that upholds the ideals of sportsmanship, scholarship and physical fitness.
The objectives of the program are to familiarize players (boys and girls) with the fundamentals of the sport, to provide the opportunity to participate in a supervised, organized and safety oriented manner, and to ensure that the participants remain free of any adult ambition not within the established philosophy of the Association.
The BBA fulfills this objective by affording an opportunity to all resident children of Branchburg, New Jersey, grades K-8, to play league basketball, either in the In-town program or through the more competitive travel teams. The In-town program provides a competitive atmosphere, but one in which all participants play a significant portion of each game. The season begins in late November/early December and ends in February. Games are usually played on Saturdays. Practices will be held during the week in the evenings. The BBA intends that all applicants who apply, in time, will be allowed to play. If our registration numbers exceed the gym space that we have, the leagueZ@3vcxf reserves the right to take registrants on a first come - first served basis.
The objective of the travel program is to develop the skills and attributes of each player. Coaches are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with this objective. While scheduling is up to the discretion of the coach, it
is anticipated that teams will practice once or twice per week, and play a 30 to 40 game schedule. All coaches are encouraged to ensure that all participants have the opportunity to play a meaningful amount of time in all games and practices, and that all are nurtured to their full capabilities. All coaches are encouraged to ensure that each player has the opportunity to participate in all games and practices ; however , actual game playing time will follow the rules provided by the league or tournament, and beyond that is ultimately left to the discretion of the coach
