1. How many games will be played in each division?

For the Winter and Spring seasons, teams typically play 9–12 games, including regular season and playoff games.

For the Summer season, teams will play 7–10 games, including regular season and playoffs.
(The total number of games may vary slightly by division.)

​

2. How long are the games? How much playing time will my child receive?

Each game consists of four 10-minute quarters. Every player is guaranteed a minimum of 15 minutes of playing time per game. Coaches may substitute players as needed based on the game situation.

​

3. When are games played?
All games are played on Sundays. Game schedules will be released after teams are drafted.
Playoff game times will be announced the week of the game, based on team standings.

​

4. If we miss a game, can it be made up?
Unfortunately, make-up games are not available due to limited gym availability.
If a team is unable to attend a scheduled game, the game will be recorded as a forfeit.

​

5. What if my child cannot attend draft day?
The draft allows us to evaluate players and create fair and balanced teams. While all registered players will be placed on a team, attendance is strongly encouraged.
If your child cannot attend, please contact us ahead of time so we can assist.

​

6. What does the registration fee include?

Winter & Spring Seasons include:
• Jersey and shorts
• 9–12 league and playoff games
• Certified CIF referees
• Indoor gym games
• Championship ring, trophy, or medal
• All-Star awards for selected players

​

Summer Season includes:
• Jersey and shorts
• 7–10 league and playoff games
• Indoor gym games
• Championship ring or trophy

​

7. Do you offer a division for children not yet in 2nd grade?
If your child can successfully shoot on standard-height hoops and would like to play up, they may register for the 2nd–3rd grade division.

​

8. I have more than one child interested in the league. Can they be on the same team?
We do our best to accommodate families while also keeping teams balanced and competitive.

• If siblings are in the same division, please note your request on the registration form.
• If siblings are in different divisions, players may be allowed to play up, but not down.

​

9. Can my child request to play on the same team as a friend?
To maintain fair competition, friend requests cannot be guaranteed during the Winter and Spring seasons.

For the Summer season, we offer a Bring Your Own Team (BYOT) option, allowing friends to play together.

​

10. When and where are practices held?
AYB coaches are volunteers, so practice schedules vary by team. Practices are typically held on weekday evenings or weekends, usually on outdoor courts.
Some teams may choose to reserve an indoor gym for practice at an additional team cost.

​

11. What if we cannot attend the assigned practice times?
Player trades are allowed on draft day only. If a practice conflict arises, the coach may contact the AYB administrator for help resolving the issue.

​

12. Who are the coaches?
All AYB coaches are volunteers who have a passion for basketball and enjoy working with young athletes. While coaching styles may vary, every coach focuses on teaching fundamentals, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

​

13. When will we find out our coach and practice schedule?
Coaches will attend the draft and form teams. Each coach will contact families within two weeks after the draft with practice details.

​

14. Who receives championship awards?
• 1st place teams: Each player and coach receives a championship ring
• 2nd place teams: Each player and coach receives a trophy.

​

15. What is your refund policy?
We understand plans can change and aim to be as fair as possible:

• Withdrawal after the draft but before uniforms are ordered: $80 administrative fee
• Withdrawal after uniforms are ordered: $150 league fee (covers uniform, insurance, registration, gym fees and Administration Fee). The uniform will be sent to the family.
• No refunds are issued after the first game of the season.
