Tredyffrin Township Summer 2010 Basketball League
The Tredyffrin Township summer basketball league is a recreational program for boys. The opportunity to participate is extended first to Tredyffrin Township residents; other Township residents will be given the opportunity to participate on a first-come, first-serve basis, if spots remain open after the registration deadline for Township residents.
The league is coordinated by a paid, part-time director under the supervision of the Township Recreation Coordinator and the Park and Recreation Board (see separate job description).
The emphasis of the league is on participation. Team rosters will be made up through random distribution of registrations received by the Township Recreation Department. Mandatory playing time requirements will be in effect for each registered player (see Playing Time Requirements).
League configuration:
- Boys: entering grades 8-11
- Junior Division for players entering grades 8 and 9*
- Senior Division for players entering grades 9* through 11
- 5-week regular season, # of games for each team will depend on total number of teams formed and if divisions formed
- 2-3 games per night (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, with Thursday rain make-ups)
- 7:30pm, 8:30pm (at Teegarden)
- 1 week playoffs/all-star game
- Tredyfrin Township Basketball League (1 page(s), 100 KB)
For 2010 season, we will accept registrations for two divisions:
(*players entering 9th grade may request either the Junior or Senior Division; Township reserves the right to make the final decision about where to place rising 9th graders, according to need)
If distribution of registrations received is not balanced enough to permit divisional play, all boys will play in one league and all girls will play in another.
