We are looking forward to another great season of Sycamore Youth Basketball for Grades 7-12! This year, SBC is supporting individual player registration without a team for grades  7-8.

The registration deadline is Nov 10 by noon.

Grades 7-8:

For grades 7-8, we are supporting individual player registration. The registration will close within a couple of days after the school tryouts end.  We will then help to form the teams ahead of the CPYBL league deadline.   Please note in registration form if you are willing to be a Head or Assistant coach.  Also, select “I do not have a team.  Please assign me.”.

Grades 9-12:

For Grades 9-12, we do not form the teams - you will continue to do this on your own, along with naming a Coach - but we will capture the cost and parent waivers individually to help streamline the administration. You will register individually, as you have previously with SBC and note your team name and coach in the registration form. Lastly, your team will need to purchase a uniform and create a Team Name that meets league rules.  We recommend creating teams of 8-10 kids.  Please send an email to 7-12 program coordinator (hs-rec@sycamorebasketballclub.com) to let us know your Team Name, Coach Name, and Roster, and we can update the registration form to ensure the selections exist. If you do not see your team name/coach or do not yet have one, please indicate that in the selections.

Additional Notes

• The Head Coach is required to attend a meeting, complete a coach's application and sit on the bench during all games.
• You will register individually ($125/kid) and complete and sign the necessary forms and waivers.  For 9-12, you will identify your Coach/Team Name during the registration process.  For 7-8, please indicate if you are willing to coach
• SBC does NOT provide uniforms for our 9-12th-grade teams. Each team must select and purchase their own uniforms.  We hope to provide 7-8th grade uniforms if enough available, but this will depend upon total number of teams/players.
• Teams will be registered to play a 10 game schedule with CPYBL similar to your 4th-6th-grade experience, plus a post-season tournament.
• SBC does NOT guarantee practice time in a Sycamore gym for 7th-12th-grade teams.  Practice time for our 7-12 grade teams will be on your time.
• Games will begin the first weekend in December. There is a 2-week holiday break (approx. Dec. 19th - Jan. 5th) where there will be no games
• Each team will need volunteers to run the clock at home games, keep the scorebook and assist with gym monitoring.

The following rules apply to all 7th-12th-grade teams:

• All coaches (head and assistant) must be age 30 or older and at least one coach MUST be on the bench for every game.
