The following weeks are simply pick-up. Given the
fact we have 60 players, we'll break our 2:00-6:30 window of time into three 90 minute sessions and limit each session
to a maximum of 20 players per session.
Players can shoot foul shots upon arrival to break up teams.
(For the benefit of all, if the breakout is unbalanced from the get-go or after the first few games, offer to make a switch to
foster good games. Good games in pick-up surely outweighs going home "undefeated" at any level of pick-up.)
An EVITE will be sent out each week permitting all players to sign-up for their requested timeslot each week. (2:00-3:30,
3:30-5:00, 5:00-6:30)
In order for this to work effectively, everyone needs to be consistent
in abiding by two golden rules:
a. Please only sign-up for a given session if there are less than 20 people
signed up for that 90 minute session.
b. If a conflict arises for you after you sign-up, please move yourself
to the "NO" bucket and denote "NOT PLAYING" in the comment of the NO Section. This will allow others
the opportunity to take your slot.
20+ players showing up at one time to play pick-up will result in many folks
sitting extended periods of time. If the EVITE is followed, this scenario should not occur.
This
process worked very well for the 08-09 season and we'll duplicate it for the 09-10 season. (It sounds more complicated
than it is..once you see the EVITE it is easy to follow.)
For liability and safety reasons, we need to
have an adult present during pick-up. (This doesn't necessarily have to be one the bench coaches of the league. Simply
any adult regardless of whether you have basketball background to be present. The HS players will coordinate their own pick-up
sessions fine.)
