The program focuses on instruction and recreational play along with an element of competition through the games that are played against other teams in neighboring communities. Practice and Game Information will be available closer to the start.
Schedule Information
The pre-season for both levels includes instructional team practice times, and a regular game schedule for both levels begins in January. Team practices and games are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays (not necessarily all 3 nights) at Edna Libby, GEJ or in neighboring communities.  Complete game and practice schedules will be distributed in January.
  *   At the 2nd – 4th  grade level, instruction and skill development is the focus, and some of the rules are adapted to address this level of development.
   *   At the 5th – 6th grade level, the intent is to play official rules, while developing skills and game knowledge.
Date: Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays: Dec. 9th - March 27th 
Time: Evenings  Grades: 2-4 and 5-6  Cost: $60   
Location: George E. Jack Elementary School & Surrounding Communities 
Coaches and Officials
*     Coaches needed at all levels – please indicate on your child’s registration form if you are willing to coach. 
*     Officials are needed for both levels – we will pay officials for these games, and will consider high school students to hire as officials who have a strong understanding of the rules and are comfortable maintaining order on the court.  If you know of anyone interested in officiating, please have them call the Recreation Department at 642-2875.

Program Rules
1. Participants are expected to be courteous, obedient and aware of safety issues at all times.
2. There is to be no physical contact that is not related to playing the game. (i.e. pushing, shoving, tripping, hitting, wrestling, fighting, tackling, snatching of clothing, etc.).
3. Participants are not permitted to leave the program at any time without permission from the volunteer in charge.
4. Participants are expected to leave the facilities neat and clean at the end of each session.
5. All equipment must be used safely and respectfully. Participants are not allowed to kick balls inside the building – much of our damage is a direct result of this rule violation. If a child is found doing something deliberately that causes damage to the equipment, the parent will be billed according to the extent of the damage.
6. Foul language will not be tolerated.
7. Participants will always obey instructions of volunteer coaches. We will stress the importance of mutual respect between participants, their peers and the coaches. By reinforcing the importance of respect for your neighbor's rights, the above rules should be followed naturally.
8. The following steps will be taken for a participant who chooses to break these rules:
1. A first violation will result in a written warning being sent home to the parents.
2. A second violation will result in the loss of playing privileges for one game.
3. A third violation will be handled on an individual basis by the recreation director. If necessary, a participant can be asked to leave the program permanently. Depending upon the severity of the offense, these steps can be bypassed and immediate suspension or dismissal from the program may occur.
