General Information
|
SVAA's goal is to create an environment where every child will play and learn the game. No tryouts are required.
SVAA offers basketball for K-12th graders. Over 3,000 play in the winter and spring seasons. K-1st grade is instructional and 2-12th is regulation play. K-2nd grade plays on 8' hoops. SVAA rules require that each player play a minimum of one and one half quarters. Maximum team size is 10 players, no exceptions.
Our winter season (grades K-12) runs from late November through late February. Winter games are played on Saturdays for grades K-8th and Sundays for grades 9-12th in RISD gyms. Winter teams get one 90-minute practice time per week on a week night in an RISD gym (coach will choose). There will be standings and tournaments (grades 2-12).
Our spring season (grades 3-12) runs from late March through late April. Spring games have one week night and one Saturday game per week for all grade levels. Coaches can bring full teams into the league since there are no formation guidelines in the Spring. Spring teams are not supplied a practice gym. No playoffs.
Detailed information about SVAA basketball rules can be found in the Coaches' Guide under the "Documents" tab.
