Practices are only one day a week for one hour
Games begin for Level 4 (9th-12th grade boys) on Friday, TBD, are one hour in length and are held in the gym at LifePointe Alliance Church. All other age groups' games begin on Saturday, TBD, and are the same as the 9th-12th grade boys' division in length. Cheer game schedules are put together by the Cheer Commissioner and will be distributed to Cheer families separately from the Basketball Division. We are not a traveling league.
Practice schedules are set up based on the availability of our volunteer coaches. Once the evaluations are over, we put the practice schedule together, run the draft, and then give the rosters to the coaches who then contact their teams.
We enable our families to pick ONE night that they CANNOT practice. They put this on their child's registration form and this is then entered into our Upward software program before we run the draft. We work hard to try to accommodate our families' schedules but with over usually 165 players or more each season, it is not possible for us to handle everyone's personal schedules.
For the 2022-2023 season, Level 4 (9th-12 grade boys) begin (TBD) and end (TBD). Level 4 6th-10th grade girls' and 6th-8th grade boys' will be held on Saturdays usually in the morning beginning (TBD) and ending (TBD). For the Level 1-3, K-5th divisions, games begin (TBD), and end (TBD), all Saturday games usually held in the afternoon.
The Game Schedule will be provided once practices are scheduled.
