Registration for Council Rock Basketball Association’s 24-25 Winter program for girls and boys intramural is currently open. Please click on the registration button on the left to register your child.

This is the season that will run from November 2024 through March 2025. Registration is first come, first serve. Once a group fills up, registration will close for that group. In any case, registration will likely close on or before October 11, 2024. All registrations must be done online; no walk-in or paper registrations will be accepted.

As was the case in past years, there will be player evaluations for intramural players in grades 5-8 (boys & girls). These are evaluations, not tryouts. The evaluations are used to try to form the most balanced teams possible to make for the most competitive season. All players who register for the intramural program will be placed on a team, even if they miss the evaluation night. The intramural evaluation dates are not yet set, but will likely be sometime between October 21-30.

All players attending an evaluation must be registered for that age group prior to the evaluations. If your child is not registered prior to the evaluations, he or she will not be permitted to participate. If you have specific questions about a particular age group, please contact the appropriate age group coordinator.

As per my previous communication, our 24-25 Travel Program is also open for registration. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER FOR BOTH PROGRAMS. Any players not placed on a travel team will have a guaranteed spot in the IM Program (pending coach availability), and will be provided an opportunity to register after final travel teams are formed. For more info on the travel program please see more details here: https://councilrockbasketballassociation.com/category/travel/

As many of you know, our ability to provide this program for our community is made possible by the thousands of volunteer hours our tireless coaches, coordinators, and board members dedicate every season. However, in recent years our ability to field teams has been constrained by the number of coach volunteers we have available at each group. In part as a thank-you, and in part to encourage new volunteers, we’d like to offer 1 head coach per team a $50 discount on their child’s registration (to be provided as a refund after final teams are formed and rosters are selected.) If you’re interested in coaching this upcoming season please indicate your interest when you register your child, and you will be contacted by your assigned age group coordinator if selected.

Last, all Council Rock Basketball Association’s programs are ONLY open to residents in the Council Rock School District (CRSD). Do not register your child for one of our programs if you do not reside in CRSD. The registration will be canceled and your registration fee will be refunded minus a processing fee.

Additional information concerning the league and the answers to many questions about the league can be found on our website under the “Common Questions” tab: https://councilrockbasketballassociation.com/faq/.

***Please see updates / changes in RED below***

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 11^th 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
