Hello Parents,

Just a reminder that we will be holding the Atom Boys skills evaluation session on Saturday, September 22nd at Jack Donahue Public School.
We will also have a second session on Saturday, September 29^th, details regarding this session will be out next week so keep your schedule open between 8am-6pm.

Time: To effectively assess skills on a large number of players, I’m asking parents to help by bringing their son 20 minutes early to prepare for their session.
Please bring JERSEY for any player that played last year.

Details of the Skills Evaluation Session
The skills evaluation session is a key step in our start-up process. The results of the session are used to create balanced teams. We have approximately 144 boys registered at the Atom level. Participation by as many of our registered players as possible is ideal to help us accomplish parity. However, rest assured that if you are unable to attend the skills evaluation session, your son will still be placed on a team for the upcoming season.

During the skills evaluation, your son will rotate through drill stations where they will practice various basketball skills. They should treat this as a 'warm-up' for the upcoming season. Your son should not feel any pressure whatsoever, as this process is simply to help ensure the teams are made up as evenly as possible. There are no tiers in the KYBA House League and creating balanced teams is important to ensure we have fair and fun games.


 

What the Boys Need: Each boy should have a separate pair of indoor basketball shoes. These shoes should not be worn to the gym but put on and off at the school.  If you are a returning player please bring your JERSEY from last year, this will help the coaches when assessing your son.
 

Regular Season information
Upon completion of the sort outs, teams will be created and announced by end of the week after Thanksgiving. This will allow teams to get at least one or two practices in before the regular season starts Saturday October . Finally, I’d like to share some information about game times for the upcoming season. Atom Boys basketball games are 1 hour long. All games will be played on Saturdays, between 8-5PM, at Jack Donaue Public School. A game schedule for the season will be issued after your son has been assigned to his team.

Thank you,
