Basketball
Practice Schedules
Practice schedules will not appear on the web site. Please consult your coach.
Practice schedules are subject to two dynamics which make it difficult, if not impossible, to keep current during the season. We do not want you consulting the web if a change has occurred that we do not know to post.
Schools may cancel practices on short notice in favor of school functions which take priority. On occasion the schools forget to notify DYA until the day of the practice.
Coaches may trade practices with each other as conflicts in their own work schedules prevent them from attending the assigned practice.
Game Schedules
Game schedules are much more stable and will be posted on the web site.
Of the approximately 135 teams, several will be coached by a parent working with two teams in different leagues. Our concern is for that parent not having to choose between which team's game to attend. We work very hard to make sure that no conflicts occur for that parent, and he/she will have ample travel time to be at both games for his/her and your students.
School tryouts for grades 7-12 occur in late October, early November. Many of the students signed up for DYA basketball will make school teams. When they do, they are not allowed by school rules to participate in DYA basketball. Many of the students who signed up for DYA and then make a school team have parents who were going to coach. Three things occur:
Coaches will be lost when their children make teams and replacement coaches must be sought out.
The number of players changes and the number of teams may change from what was anticipated in sign ups.
Additional players may sign up after tryouts.
Some of the parents who will coach in grades 7-12 will also be coaching in multiple leagues. We want to help them for stepping up and do not want conflicts. Thus, rather than paint ourselves into a corner by releasing schedules for grades 3-6 at the coaches meetings, they will be held until the coaches are determined for grades 7-12. This could all be avoided if more parents stepped up so certain parents would not have to take multiple teams.
To help all parents plan their weekends in the meantime the schedules for grades 3-6 will be posted with dates and times only. We will post those as the contracts are finalized with the individual schools. Thank you for your understanding.
Oh yes, for the record, in 2007-2008 there were 23 parents coaching 47 of the 148 recreation teams. Those 23 parents are involved in 444 of the 753 games for recreation basketball. If you think this is a huge undertaking you are correct.
Tournament Schedules
Tournament schedules for grades 6-12 will be posted as soon as we
know how many teams will be participating in grades 7-12. This will occur
after the results of school tryouts.
