Need for Volunteers We need support from volunteers to make the program work, and there are number of roles that need to be filled to ensure the success of the SCAA Basketball program. We need volunteers as coaches, assistant coaches, League Directors, and score/time keeper when you register online or you may e-mail the Basketball Commissioner directly to offer your assistance. To assist you in your consideration of these volunteer opportunities, descriptions for the different volunteer positions, including coach, are included elsewhere herein. Please consider volunteering SCAA – Basketball is only as good as our volunteers! House Leagues Overview Boys (minimum of 7 years of age by December 1st) 2nd and 3rd Grade 4th and 5th Grade 6th through 7th Grade 8th Grade Girls (minimum of 7 years of age by December 1st) 2nd and 3rd Grade 4th and 5th Grade 6th through 8th Grade SCAA conducts evaluations in all house league age groups. The purpose of the evaluations is to form balanced teams. The evaluations give volunteer coaches the opportunity to see all the players signed up for their leagues. In this way they are better prepared to put together their teams on the night of the player selections. House teams start practice in early December and meet twice per week once on a weeknight and once on Saturday until school ends for the – – Christmas holidays. When school resumes in January, house teams will continue to meet twice per week, consisting of one practice on a weeknight and a game on Saturday. The program will generally run until early March. Unfortunately, most seasons start without a full complement of coaches. The SCAA Basketball approach to this challenge is a policy that teams will be drafted even if there are an insufficient number of coaches. Thereafter, the parents of participants on any team drafted or formed without a coach will be contacted and asked to be volunteer coaches. A team may be dropped from the program, and the League Director will place the players on a waiting list in random order, if a volunteer is not found. Trophies: Trophies, plaques, or champion t-shirts will only be awarded to the first place teams in the regular season's standings, except for 2nd and 3rd grade teams which will not keep full game scores. In the case of ties, playoffs will be scheduled when possible.
