Boys Intermediate (B56)

 

 

This division is exclusively boys, grades 5&6.

 

This division holds an evaluation in October.  No one is cut.  Players are rated on ability, and height is measured.  These metrics allow coaches to form balanced teams.  Coaches do not select their own teams. 

 

We do not allow carpools at any level.

 

Skills become slightly more advanced, but there are still many first-time players.

The early season uses both sessions for practice.  As we get into late December or early January, weeknights are normally used for practices, and weekends are for games.  Each Saturday is game day, however, there could be weeks when there are games on both Saturday and Sunday

 

With minor exceptions (outlined in our division rules) this is the level where it resembles traditional basketball.  We use referees and hold official games.  Scores and win-loss records are kept.

 

Playing time rules apply, based on the number or players present for a team on game day.
