How many practices and games will each team have? Each team will practice twice per week in November and December and each team will play two games per week in January and February. We may have a few intermittent practice dates throughout the game season.
Where are the practices and games? All events are held here at Nittany Valley Sports Centre. Teams will each be assigned to a specific court for practices and game play. These assignments will be on your Daysmart calendars after teams are formed.
How are teams selected? Our staff and our coaches will have a two-day Player Evaluation session for each age group. Teams will then be selected to create competitive balance in the league.
How do I get involved as a coach? Email basketball@thecentrepa.com if you are interested in coaching a team this winter. We will a meeting on October 21, from 9-11am to prepare for the league and provide resources to help coaches who are newer or who would like some additional information.
How many divisions will there be in the league? There will be FIVE divisions, sorted roughly by grade: Co-ed: 2-3 grade, 4-5 grade, 6-7 grade, 8-9 grade AND “Middle School” (ages 9-12) Girls. Older girls can opt to play in one of the co-ed divisions if they wish.
Can my child move up a division? We will do our best to put every player where they belong to ensure the best competition we can.
What are the days and times for practices and games? Our older divisions will play on Monday and Wednesday, and our younger teams will play on Tuesday and Thursday. All events will start between 5-8pm.
Can we request to be on a team with friends? Yes, we will do our best to meet requests. However, these are not guaranteed as we want to keep competitive balance in the divisions. Requests will be documented during Player Evaluations
What about uniforms? All players will receive a reversible jersey to wear for practices and games! Jerseys will be handed out in December.
