Question: What and when are evaluations held?
Answer: Evaluation night is the recreation league player. It is for the coaches to see what kind of player you are. It is used to put together teams that will be of equal talent and equally competitive. Coaches are looking to see if you can dribble? Can you shoot? Are you tall or short? Are you fast or slow? All players are required to be at the player evaluation night. All recreation players will be placed on a team (as long as there are enough volunteer coaches).
Evaluations are typically held in early November. See calendar for schedule
Question: My child could not make the player evaluations. Will there a make-up date?
Answer: Simple answer is no. If we have enough coaches, your child should make it onto a team. If not, we will need to cut players. Coaches are volunteers.
Question: Which division does my child belong in?
Answer: Clinic - 1st & 2nd grades (no player evaluations needed); Rookies - 3rd & 4th grades; Minors - 5th & 6th grades; Majors - 7th & 8th grades; Seniors (boys only) - 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th grades
Question: How many games are there?
Answer: For recreation league, there are 10 games in a season, plus playoffs. All teams make the playoffs.
For travel, usually they can play 20+ games a season. Reason for the higher fee.
Clinic will be for 10 Saturday mornings. Starting in early December.
Question: How many practices a week, what time and where?
Answer: Typically one practice a week and the location/time are decided at the coach’s discretion. Practice locations will be held in one of the Edison schools; elementary or middle schools. Extra practice are allowed only if there is available gym space. NO Practices on Sunday
NOTE: If your child has a busy schedule, this program might not be for them. Our schedules are not set and can be diferent each week.
Question: Can my child be placed on the same team as their friend. It helps with rides to/from practices.
Answer: We can have over 500+ kids a year within our program. We would have a logistic nightmare, if we tried to grant all requests. Our suggestion is to speak with the division coordinator at the player evaluation night. This request then be shared with the coaches during the team drafts. There are no guarantees that will be able to place them on the same team.
Question: What size ball do they use?
Answer: Clinic (1st & 2nd grades) = 28.5"
Boys (3rd - 6th grade) = 28.5"
Girls (all age grades) = 28.5"
Boys (7th - 12th grade) = 29.5"
Question: What night are the games played?
Answer: For recreation, typically they are Friday evening or Saturday for Rookie and Minor divisions. Majors and Seniors gyms can be held any weeknight or Saturdays. Girls division may also play games any day of the week, plus on Sundays and out of town (this is due to not enough girls playing)
For travel, it will depend on what league the coach signed the team up for. It could be any night of the week or weekends, plus out of town games.
Question: What is Clinic, where is it held and on what day?
