Information regarding our upcoming season

- There are three seasons each year.
- Winter (February-April
- Summer (June-August)
- Fall (October-December)
- The registration for each season opens about 2 months in advance and closes when league participation capacity has been reached. This allows us to evaluate players, create equal teams, organize the coaches and referees.
- There are five different divisions at Ararat D-League:
- Jr NBA, 4 & 5 years old
- PAC-10, 6 & 7 years old
- SEC, 8 & 9 years old
- ACC, 10 & 11 years old

- For the 6-13 year olds, we have teams of 10 players that are co-ed. They meet twice a week. One hour practice either Thursday or Friday, anytime between 5:00-8:00pm, and one hour game on Sundays, anytime between 8:30am-6:00pm. Each player is guaranteed to play half of the game on Sunday.
- For the 4 & 5 years old, we have co-ed teams of 25. They practice twice a week. One hour either Thursday 5:00-6:00pm, or Friday, 4:00-5:00 or 5:00-6:00pm. Plus an hour practice on Sundays anytime between 8:30-11:30am. Sunday schedules will be posted and emailed a week before.
- Before the season starts, all the new and some returning players (ages 6-14) will be evaluated in order to be placed in the appropriate division. We’ll contact only those who need to be evaluated.
- We create equal teams of 10 players for 6-13 years old, in 4 different divisions. Our goal is that the teams are well-balanced and Sunday games are fair and fun for all.

- The registration fee covers the entire season, jerseys and a personalized trophy at the end of the season. Players must wear their own black shorts.
- Your child’s team assignment (practice day, time,..) will be disclosed at the Parents Meeting and Orientation day (Two weeks before season starts). If there is any conflict with the set day/time, you can request a change or get a refund on that day only. A $60 processing fee is charged for all refunds.
- The first day of practice, we gather each team, and distribute their jerseys. Jerseys run a size large and you can have it altered if you wish, however, we don’t have any additional jerseys to switch.

If they have available spots or need new players they will contact parents/players directly and setup tryouts for their year-around teams. Year-around teams are competitive and players aren’t guaranteed playing time.
