Do I need a practice jersey?

• Yes.  Players MUST have a practice pinny.
• They can be used for future seasons, so 'size-up'.
• They cost $15 and must be purchased and brought to each practice.
  • Just like any other sporting equipment (helmets, shoulder pads, lacrosse stick), the practice jersey is required to fully participate in basketball practice.

Do we return the game jersey?

• Yes, to keep registration costs down, we need to receive all game jerseys back as they are utilized for future seasons.  If we do not receive at the end of the season, it would cause costs to rise for all basketball families.

When are practice nights?

• Practice nights and times are based on coach's availability.  We review any requests that are submitted at time of registration, and try to take those requests into account.  However, coach's availability is priority.
• Practices can be Monday-Friday between 5:30-9:30.  They can be at any SRHS feeder school.  Additionally, we have rented space at Chesapeake Christian Fellowship (CCF).

How are teams selected?

• Each age group will get two evaluations.  We have 3-5 people evaluating the players skill level and abilities.  We take into account their position and skill level.  We also factor in the amount of players per team, based on the total number of players at that age group.  All of these items are used to make teams and place those teams in the appropriate level within the AACO league.

When are games?

• County games are typically on Saturday.  Anywhere within AACo.  Anytime between 8am - 8pm.  *Note: Youth games can be played on Sunday.  Nothing guaranteed yet.
• High School games are on Sunday.
• Clinic games are held at Central Elementary.  They begin in January and can be at any time which will not be known until the AACo schedule is finalized in January.

Why are practices so late?

• The county allows our gym time to be from 5:30 - 9:30.  We have a lot of teams and need to use all of the gym time allotted to us.  Therefore, middle school teams can practice until 9:30pm.
