If necessary, players from schools in close geographical proximity will be placed together to fulfill roster requirements.
If circumstances require, students from the same school will be separated to allow for even-sized rosters.
Coaches
This is an all-volunteer, parent-led program. Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in practices and games.
*At least two volunteer coaches are needed per team. Each team will split up their players at the beginning of each game and they will play for two 10 minute halves. Then one team will switch sides so everyone plays everyone. This allows more touches for all players, and more playing time because there will be 6 people playing at a time as opposed to 5 in your typically 5 v 5. Two coaches allow players on each half of the court to have a coach during their game.
*Volunteer coaches will be paired with their child.
