Please take a moment to review the rules of the sport and the order of events included below. The rules for basketball can be found here.

You will register for Basketball Assessments and the State Tournament in Agon using the registration timeline below.

ASSESSMENTS

Basketball Assessments provide our athletes with a competitive experience before State competition and allow us to make best efforts for the divisions to be appropriately established.

Games will be scheduled in time blocks allowing each team the opportunity to play against teams in their division. Game length may be modified to allow for teams to play one another. An additional game against a team in a division below or above may be needed to determine final divisions. Game play and approximate length of games will be discussed on the pre-season coaches’ call.

STATE TOURNAMENT

After assessments take place, divisions are established. A draft order of events will then be created for our State Basketball Tournament and sent to all head coaches and Local Program Coordinators before our coaches’ call. Please take a moment to review the rules to have a better understanding of what is expected during the competition.
