Intramural Evaluatoins

CRBA Parents (Grades 5-8),

If your child is playing our intramural programs in grades 5-8, please take a minute or two to read this email I its entirety as it contains important information about the up-coming intramural evaluations.

In grades 5-8, 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/. There is also some additional information below the schedule that should help things go

To make things easier for our volunteers who run the evaluation, please note 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.

Mon. October 14 at Holland Middle School
• 600-650 pm – 5th grade boys w/ last name A-L
• 700-750 pm – 5th grade boys w/ last name M-Z
• 800-850 pm – 7th , 8th, 9th grade girls

Wed. October 16 at Holland Middle School
• 600-650 pm – 7th grade boys w/ last name A-L
• 700-750 pm – 7th grade boys w/ last name M-Z
• 800-900 pm – 5th & 6th grade girls

Mon. October 21 at Holland Middle School
• 600-650 pm – 6th grade boys w/ last name A-L
• 700-750 pm – 6th grade boys w/ last name M-Z

Wed. October 23 at Holland Middle School
• 600-650 pm – 8th grade boys w/ last name A-L
• 700-750 pm – 8th grade boys w/ last name M-Z

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, especially in a brand new facility like Holland Middle. This is yet 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 new door that says something like “Athletics and Fine Arts” above the door.

Please have the children arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can get they can get their height before they go into the gym.

There are no parents or siblings allowed in the gym during the Holland Middle School. 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 5 th to contact the league if you have not heard from your child’s coach by then.

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 consult the website before emailing any questions. If you have any questions specific to your child’s age group (such as game/practice schedule, coaches, registration, etc.), 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/.

Welcome to CRBA’s 2019 Summer league

Good morning CRBA families,

Welcome to CRBA’s 2019 summer league. Teams for the summer program are now being formed, and you should hear from you son or daughter’s summer league coach by the end of this week. If you have not heard from a coach by this Friday (6/21), please contact the appropriate grade level coordinator (for your child’s current grade) listed below. But please hold off on contacting the coordinator or the league until Friday, as this is a very week for us.

Just a reminder, summer league play begins on Monday June 24 and runs through Thursday August 8. There will be no games on Thursday July 4. Once the teams are formed, the schedule for each group will be distributed. In the meantime, where each group will be playing and the nights when they will play is attached.

All games are outside and are, therefore, weather dependent. Please be patient and flexible during the season. We will do everything we can to get as many games in as possible. That means that we often wait until the last minute possible to make a call on whether to cancel games because of weather.

Many thanks to the parents listed below who have volunteered to be the grade level coordinators for each group. Without them giving up their time to do so, the spring league would not be possible.

Summer League Registration

CRBA Summer League Registration Open

Hello CRBA Parents,

If you are interested in CRBA summer league, please read this email in its entirety.

Registration for our summer league programs is now open. The summer league season will likely run from the week of June 24 until the week of August 5th. The games will be during the week, any day from Monday-Thursday, typically with one or two games per week, weather provided. Games will be outside on the courts at the Northampton Civic Center or the Northampton Municipal Park. There are no practices.

Like last year, we plan to have two girls’ programs this summer: one for girls currently in 4th and 5th grade; and one for girls currently in grades 6-8. Girls can now be registered for those programs using
the following link: https://active.leagueone.com/Olr/Pages/Welcome.aspx?ClubId=14863. (An invitation code is not needed to register for the girls’ programs.)

Registration is also open for boys currently playing in one of our programs in grades 3-10 at the following link: https://active.leagueone.com/Olr/Pages/Welcome.aspx?ClubId=14863. Please be advised that for the boys’ programs you will need an “invitation code”, which is grade-level program specific. You can get that “invitation code” from your son’s current coach or the coordinator for his grade level, listed below. Please do not email the league (crbahoops@gmail.com) looking for an invitation code.

We are using the invitation code for the first two weeks of registration to give our current players a chance to sign up for summer league before opening up registration to the general public. Space in the summer league is extremely limited based on court availability. Registration is first come, first serve.
Once a group fills up (and our summer programs almost always sell out), registration will close for that group. In any case, registration will likely close on June 10 assuming the group has not filled up before then.

There is detailed information on the registration page for each page regarding when the season will start, when it will end, and on what nights during the week the group will play its games. Please read this information carefully before registering your child.

All CRBA programs are ONLY open to children who reside in the Council Rock School District (CRSD). Do not register your son for this program if you do not reside in CRSD, or the registration will be canceled and your registration fee will be refunded minus a processing fee.

Many thanks to the parents listed below who have volunteered to be the grade level coordinators for each group. Without them giving up their time to do so, the spring league would not be possible.

3rd & 4th grade boys: Peter McAleer (peter.mcaleer@njcourts.gov), Nicole Stevenson (nstevenson@stmaryrehabhospital.com) or John Thomas (johnt7797@gmail.com);

5th & 6th grade boys: Chris Contudis (chris@cameraspot.com) or Joe Cahill (jcahill920@comcast.net);

7th & 8th grade boys: Brian Kredo (kredo@mmklawfirm.com) or Alan Tempkins (alantempkins@gmail.com); and

9th & 10th grade boys: Cam Vogt (cameronvogt@yahoo.com) or Paul Wilson (paul.wilson@waters.nestle.com).
