CRBA Parents (Boys Grades 5-9; Girls 4-9)
If your child is playing our intramural programs in the grades listed above, please take a minute or two to read this email in its entirety as it contains important information about the upcoming intramural evaluations.
In grades 5-9 boys and 4-9 girls, the intramural teams will be formed by a draft. All players in these age groups should attend the evaluations for their age group. This includes players who tried out for a travel team but did not make it and will be playing in our intramural programs.
The evaluations are not tryouts; they are a tool to help the coaches form the most competitively balanced teams possible. If you have any questions regarding the evaluations, please contact your child’s grade level coordinator, who can be found on the website at the following link: https://councilrockbasketballassociation.com/contact-grade-group-coordinator/.
To make things easier for our volunteers who run the evaluation, we have split some of the larger groups so we don’t have so many kids in the gym. Please bring your son or daughter at the appropriate time frame based on the schedule below.

The following information will help things go more smoothly, please keep reading.
Please do not let your child bring a basketball into the school the night of the tryout, leave all the balls at home. We have all the balls that are needed for the evaluations in the gym, and we don’t even let kids bring their own balls into the gym for the evaluations. Every year we are asked by the schools to ask the players not to bounce their balls in the hallway. The evaluation nights are no different. (another reason to make sure your child does not bring their ball to the evaluations.)
Please enter the Holland Middle School gym (and building) using the door that faces East Holland Road to the right of the building. This is the door that says something like “Athletics and Fine Arts” above the door.
Please have the children arrive 10 minutes early so we can get their height before they go into the gym.
There are no parents or siblings allowed in the gym during evaluations. Just the coaches and other adult volunteers helping them.
The teams will be formed during the last couple of weeks in October and first week in November. Please wait until at least November 11th to contact the league if you have not heard from your child’s coach by then.
As a final note, while some age groups are full, others are still sending out final wait-list codes for registration in the next several days. Please be patient while we finalize our enrollment for the season.
Thanks,
-James
