Basketball Athletic League

Athletic Level

For grades 4th-6th, there is an option to try out for an athletic level team. You must register and select that you are interested in the Athletic Level tryouts during checkout of registration.

Each grade level will have two nights of tryouts (the tryout schedule is currently updated within the registration system) It is highly recommended that your child attend both days to help the with selections.
In the event that we do not have enough signed up for an age level, we will communicate that out to those affected players/parents prior to the tryout date.
Team formation at any age level is not guaranteed.
All tryouts and team formation for the Athletic Level teams are required to follow the IHRC Select/Athletic Sports Guidelines and any applicable CPYBL rules.
Our goal is to notify parents of athletic team selections within 48 hours of the last tryout date. All parents will be notified via email regardless of the result of their child. Please note, if your child does not make the Athletic Level team, they will automatically be included on a recreational level team.

Reminder

Tryouts are not mandatory for this grade; it is just an option. All players who don’t wish to participate in the tryout will be included on a Recreational Level team.

The IHRC Select/Athletic Sports Guidelines can be viewed on the Documents page.

CPYBL Rules can be found on the CPYBL website at https://www.cpybl.com/
