Pick-Up Format/Rules Considerations

11/13, 11/20, 11/27, 12/4, 12/11


The above weeks are simply pick-up.  Given the fact we have 80 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 24 players per session.   (re: 3 X 24 - 72 : Based on past experience we never exceed 90% capacity in a given week for pick-up. If the event we do we'll modify this maximum)


Upon arrival teams are chosen by upper-classmen.

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 24 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.


24+ 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 & 09-10 season and we'll duplicate it for the 10-11 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.)
