Basketball Information (Please Read)
- Sign Ups will run from October 3 until Oct 24, 2022. After the 24th, we will accept players for age groups we still need players in order to field teams.
- Certain age groups will fill up quickly and there may be waiting lists for some age groups and not others. We will accommodate our returning players and they will be placed on a team but returning families MUST sign up before the deadline in order to receive that privilege.
- Basketball is for boys and girls in grades 3 through 8; we will have Senior league teams if interest is there(grades 9-12)
  - Tryouts(and team formations) will begin for each age group in early November.. Exacts dates and times TBD.
    
    Certain age groups will need to wait for the completion of fall sports in order to hold their tryouts.
  - THERE ARE NO CUTS. TRYOUTS DO NOT = YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER NOT MAKING A TEAM.
    
    As long as we have enough players, coaches, and gym space, we will have a team for anyone who comes out.
  - Tryouts will be held at either HB DuPont Middle School or McKean High School
- For most age groups, there will be at least 1 impartial evaluator to help in the creation of teams
- Games begin in early December, usually the first or second weekend. All league games will stop during Christmas break and resume after the holidays until the middle of February
  - There are tournaments scattered throughout the season that your team may play in
  - SMA will pay for 1 tournament per team wanting to play in one. All other tournament costs will be divided among parents or taken on by the coach.
- Teams generally practice 2 times a week with a game on the weekend.
  - HB DuPont, Skyline Middle, McKean High School, AI DuPont High School, and Brandywine Springs are the practice locations so far. More will be added after we determine our gym needs.
  - Practices will be between 75-90 minutes long and we try to finish by 9 or 9:30pm.
- There are playoffs for Varsity Teams in the C and Y divisions. It depends on the level of the JV and Pre-JV teams as to whether there are playoffs or not for those teams.
  - Varsity teams may be constructed with playoff eligibility in mind; being a non-parishioner could impact what team your child is placed on.
  - Last year, CYM tried to begin post-season tournaments or playoffs for every age group.
- Uniforms will be provided.
Volunteering Requirement
- SMA sports is 100% self-funded and the largest CYM program without the backing of a school or gym. SMA sports is also an office of 1. As a result, we ask parents to help out in our fundraising efforts and our operations in order to give our children the best experience.
- There is a $150 deposit that is held until May. If you met your requirement, the check is torn up. Volunteering does not have to occur during your child’s season of play; we will take your help at any time.
Volunteer Opportunities, Round 1
- This is the first offering of opportunities for basketball families to meet their volunteering requirements.
- I currently need help at tryouts and with the raffle ticket fundraiser.
