BASKETBALL INFO

Over 6,700 participants play in the winter and summer seasons.  K-1st grade is instructional and 2nd-12th is regulation play.  K-2nd grade play 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, open to boys in grades K–12 and girls in grades K–7, runs from December through February. Games are scheduled on weekends and may take place at any time on Saturdays or during the afternoon on Sundays. For grades 2–12, scores and standings are recorded and the season concludes with an end-of-season tournament.

Our summer season, open to boys in grades 2 -12 and girls in grades 2 - 6, runs mid-June to mid-July.  Summer basketball is team registration only.  Teams will play 10 games, one during the week and one on Saturday.  Jerseys are not provided for the summer league, but can be purchased by contacting the SVAA office.  There will not be an end of season tournament and standings will not be kept.  

Coaches may request a practice gym by completing a practice request form. SVAA will assign the practice time. Winter teams get one practice time per week on a weeknight. There are no practice gyms available during the summer season.
