Evaluations
Teams are drafted based on an evaluation process. Evaluators assess the skill level of every player. Skills evaluated include; layups, shooting, dribbling, agility/quickness, etc.
**IMPORTANT** These evaluations are NOT tryouts. This information is only used to assess a player's current skill level and is a tool for the RCBA to try and make teams as fair & balanced as possible.
ALL PLAYERS MAKE A TEAM REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY EVALUATE!
*The RCBA does not accept zone requests- THIS IS A CITY-WIDE PROGRAM, PLAYERS COULD BE ASSIGNED A PRACTICE FACILITY OUTSIDE THEIR ZONE*
*NEW*
Based on the number of players registered in each division and the results of our evaluations, some changes may be made to the division.
Grade 5 boys could be divided into 2 pools/divisions
Grade 5/6 girls may be grouped together
This decision will not be made lightly and will be made with the best interest of the entire league, for our new & experienced players.
Games
Games will either be Friday nights or Saturdays. Game format is 5-on-5. Zone defense & pressing are not allowed in this division. This is to ensure more time can be spent focusing on the fundamental offensive & defensive skills of the game. Game sessions are 75 minutes.
Scoring
Scores are kept & displayed. If the point differential is more then 25 points, coaches have the option to discontinue showing the score. On the RCBA website, scores will ONLY be recorded up to a 25-point differential. this is to discourage teams from running up the score.
