You can register here on the CRBA website by clicking the registration button on the left.

There is a $20 non-refundable tryout fee for each player trying out.

This program is open to boys and girls in 3^rd through 8^th grades.

We will field a minimum of 1 team per age group and 2 teams in some age groups based on gym availability, ability of players trying out at each age group, and volunteer coaches.

CRBA Travel is the most competitive and intensive program we offer and requires a higher level of commitment from players and parents alike. It would be expected that this team come first at the start of the season. Formal practices begin in early November, and the season typically concludes by early to mid-March, depending on how successful the team is.

Most travel teams will practice 2 times per week and will usually play at least 2 games per week during the season. Some teams may also play in tournaments, which are scheduled at the coach’s discretion.

More details on the travel program will be posted on our website in the coming days.

All players for the upcoming season are REQUIRED to attend a minimum of 1 tryout for their age group, but ATTENDING BOTH TRYOUTS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to give the coaches and program coordinators the best chance to effectively evaluate all of the players.

The schedule for tryouts will be posted on the CRBA website once we know the gym availability.

Please direct any questions about our travel program to Ryan Becker (rbeckernd@gmail.com), Jim Greenberg (jgreenbe@hhsd.org) or Jerry Bradbury (ccmblgb@gmail.com). Additionally, we are currently seeking coaching candidates for our 3^rd Grade Girls and 3^rd Grade Boys teams. If you are interested, please also reach out to Ryan, Jim, and Jerry.

Intramural or “in-house” registration for the winter program is NOT YET OPEN and will be opened shortly following Labor Day weekend. Spaces will be reserved in our “in-house” program for players who try out but are not selected to make one of the travel teams.

Thank you for your interest and continued support of CRBA Basketball! We are looking forward to another great season!

Upcoming Fall / Winter 2022 Key Dates

CRBA Family,

As Summer winds down, I want to share with you a number of upcoming key dates for the upcoming Winter 22′ – ’23 season. Formal communications for each of these events will be sent out via email in the coming weeks:

Travel Tryout Registration Opens – End of August

Travel Tryouts – Tentatively 9/12 – 9/23

In-House Registration Opens – Roughly End of September

More information coming in the coming weeks. Stay tuned here, and via email for more info.

Fall/Winter Registration

Registration for Council Rock Basketball Association’s fall/winter programs for girls and boys intramural and travel programs is currently open at the following website: https://active.leagueone.com/Olr/Pages/Welcome.aspx?ClubId=14863. CRBA is a volunteer run league. We are in need of a volunteers to oversee some age/grade groups. Please reach out @ crbahoops@gmail.com if you are interested in helping the league.

This is the season that will run from November 2021 through March 2022. 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 10, 2021. All registrations must be done online; no walk-in or paper registrations will be accepted

Travel tryout dates have been announced and require separate Tryout Registration (all information can be found on our website – www.councilrockbasketballassociation.com ). All players interested in trying out for a travel team must be registered prior to tryouts. If your child is not registered prior to the tryout, he or she will not be permitted to try out. If there are any questions regarding the travel program, please contact the travel program coordinator listed on our website.

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 try outs. 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 some time between October 14-30.

Like with the travel tryouts, 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, who can be found on the attached.

Covid protocols will be in full force throughout the season. This includes any protocols mandated by the State, County, Township or Schools during the season. Anyone failing to adhere to these will be removed from the Spring league. While wearing a mask is not currently required, this may change as local protocols change.

Last, 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/.

5 Ways to Have the Best Season Ever

Five Ways to Have the Best Season Ever

Respect the gyms upon arrival, during and after the games. Remove all trash and bring your own chairs.
ALWAYS Respect our Officials. The Referees are helping your children learn the game of basketball. Trust their judgement. There is a zero tolerance for countering a call or disrespecting our officials.
ALWAYS cheer for your children and their teammates. There is no need to instruct from the sidelines. Yelling directions to your children is confusing. Offer to help your coach at practice or volunteer to coach.
Give your child love and support. It’s so easy to get caught up in making sure they do everything right or that they always win – the game, or scrimmage or contest. This is definitely the wrong approach to take. We have to remember as parents that our children are participating in youth basketball to have fun, to be with their friends and to compete.
Let your child dribble, pass and practice footwork whenever possible. Youth basketball parents should remember to encourage their child to practice, join them as often as you can – but never force them. They will determine how often they want to practice. “Practice makes Perfect”

Enjoy!
