Absolutely not. If you play for a school team the Ohio state rules forbid you from playing for another team. This will make you ineligible for the school team AND the team you play on would be required to forfiet.

We primarily play within the CPYBL, please visit their site for the official rules. Some of our teams do play in other leagues, when in doubt ask your coach.

You SHOULD attend school tryouts BEFORE you sign up. However if you know that school ball isn't for your son, you can sign up now. School tryouts are the first few days of November, tell your child to pay attention to announcements.

BCRL expects that you live in, or attend, the Batavia Local School District. So if you go to West Clermont, but live in the Batavia school district you can sign up for BCRL.

However, BCRL knows that the occasional non-Batavia player may be needed for a team to form and will request a waiver if needed. BCRL will not release players unless they were unable to form a team or have a full team and no room. Generally every player matters at this age.

The official practice schedule is not made until after teams are formed. You could practice anywhere from 4:45PM (start time) - 8:30PM (end time). Your childs team will practice one or two times a week depending on the coaches availability and team preference. Most of our teams practice once during the week and once on Sunday.

Our teams practice at one of several locations: Batavia Middle School, Batavia Elementary School, Wildey School in Owensville, or the SODC up near UC Clermont.

No.

Unknown until after signups and a volunteer steps up.

Practices start ramping up in November and the schedule ends by March. For each team your child is on they will be scheduled for 11 games. Weather sometimes cancels games, but you will be scheduled for 11.

Tennis shoes and a uniform. Any tennis shoes should work. Uniforms are sold via BCRL and purchased in addition to your registration fee.

The best answer to this is on our Did you know page. For basketball specific we use our basketball money to fund most of our donations to the school system. We have league fees and referee fees. Plus our clock and concession workers are paid so parents are not expected to do these task.

You are signing up to commit to a team. It is expected that your player be at the vast majority of practices and games. This is usually not a problem, however when it is there is a process that we go through, the process stops when the problem is resolved.

1. Coach talks to parent about the issue.
2. Coach escalates the issue to the Basketball Rep. The Rep gives a plan of action if there is a good solution to it.
3. Coach sends an email to the parent, cc'ing the Basketball Rep letting the parent know that if the player misses another practice, they will not play in the following games and that future missed practices may require a doctors note.
4. Basketball Rep talks to the parent about their future on the team and works to find a solution.

I can assure you that 99% of issues are resolved after the email is sent to parents and the basketball rep.

A player may only be on one CPYBL team. No exceptions. If a player is on more than one CPYBL team they will be suspended by the league and the teams will forfeit games.

However a child is free to play on as many teams in other leagues that they want. As an example, BCRL will put kids on a team in SWOL and in CPYBL. Those kids will play on two teams, and that is okay. Another example is that sometimes children play on a team at one of the commercial operations in the area and a BCRL team, this too is okay.

One caveat to this, if this causes an attendance issue for your BCRL team, the process outlined in the other question can come into play.
