Yes. Evaluation sessions are designed to rate each players skill level in ball handling, shooting, running, offense and defense. Evaluation scores will be used to form teams that are equal, thus creating a fun and competitive league. If it is absolutely necessary for your child to miss evaluations, they will still be placed on a team.
Leagues in the Northwest Metro League will be created via a coaches draft. All players are requested to attend the evaluations when scheduled. Coaches will watch the players and it will conclude with a snake draft by the coaches. Players, even coach's children, are not allowed into the draft.
Players not in attendance at the evaluations are added to teams alphabetically after all other players have been drafted.
If a player signs up after the teams are formed, they are added to the next available team.
The child of the head coach is taken automatically as the 3rd round pick. The assistant coach's child is taken automatically with the 4th round pick. If either does not have a child, they can draft any available player with that selection.
Players are encouraged to play in their own grade with their peers and classmates. Under certain occasions we will allow a player to play up one league (never down). Parents/Guardians who wish their child to be evaluated in an older age group should make their request to the Basketball Directors as soon as possible via email at Basketball@CDAASports.Org. The player MUST attend evaluations and score in the top 25% of the evaluation group at the next grade level to be eligible for consideration. All decisions are at the sole discretion of the CDAA Basketball Directors based on space availability and team balancing.
Our program is solely run by volunteers and cannot operate without them! We are always in need of coaches and volunteers. We have coach and volunteer positions available at all grade levels. Please consider coaching or volunteering! You can indicate your desire to coach or volunteer during the online registration process or by contacting the Basketball Directors at Basketball@CDAASports.Org.
Note - All coaches must complete a background check and concussion training.
If you have questions pertaining to the league, registration, coaching or volunteering, please contact the Basketball Directors at basketball@CDAASports.org.
