ABOUT JOHN BARKER BASKETBALL

 

The John Barker Boys Basketball League is the organization that operates both the Town League and the Hingham entries in the various pre-high school travel basketball programs.

 

The Town League is for boys in Hingham in Grades 2 through 8.  It is open to all that sign up as long as space is available.  It does not have any “cuts”.  The season runs from the beginning of December to the middle/end of March. All players are put on teams within each grade.  Teams for early grades are determined by an evaluation.  Grades 2 and 3 are mostly instructional and involve a practice/scrimmage on Saturdays for each team.  Grades 4 through 8 are both instructional and competitive and involve a week night practice and a Saturday game for each team.  A champion for Grades 4 through 8 will be chosen for each team by a playoff.  This league has an “equal playing” time rule. All games and practices are played in Hingham in assorted Town facilities.  The estimated cost for 2008 – 2009 is $125 per player with a maximum cost of $200 per family.

 

The Travel League is for boys in Hingham in Grades 4 through 8.  There is one travel team for Grade 4 and two travel teams for Grades 5 through 8.  Each team is limited to approximately 12 players.  This means that it is not likely that all that wish to play can be accommodated. Players will be selected based on their performance at a tryout. “Cuts” will be made as necessary.  The season will run from the beginning of December to the middle/end of March.  All games will be on weekends.  Half of the games will be in Hingham and the other half will be at surrounding towns.  Everyone will play in every game, provided they attend practices and adhere to team rules, but playing time may not be equal between all players.  Actual playing time will be at the judgement of the coaches.  Grades 4 and 5 will play an approximately 12 game schedule, not including playoffs, and Grades 6 through 8 will play an approximately 18 game schedule, not including playoffs.  Each travel team will also have one or two week night practices per week.  The approximate cost for 2008 – 2009 is approximately $200 without a uniform and $250 with a uniform.  Additional costs may be required if teams decide to enter Holiday Tournaments.  All travel team players are also required to participate in the Town League.
