Cost for the league is $40 per participant. 

• All players make a team; this allows us to evenly distribute players to teams as best as possible.
• League age is based on the age of the child on March 1 of the current season (e.g. if they are 12 on January 1 they play in the 11&12 division).
• Players moving up an age group must go through the evaluations.
• All new players must go through the evaluations. If a child is unable to attend the evaluations, they will still be placed on a team.
• Players on high school basketball teams (freshman, junior varsity, or varsity) are not eligible to participate in this program

• The time and place of practices are determined by the coaches. Players must attend a minimum of one practice per week to receive the minimum league playing time.
• Team jerseys will be provided by the first game.
• Games will be played at the Solomon Calhoun Center and Ketterlinus Gymnasium.
• Schedules will be posted online and passed out no later than the first scheduled game.

• Coaches are nationally and locally background checked and required to attend a coach’s certification class to volunteer in this league.

• Please remember that the St. Johns County Parks & Recreation Department runs the Youth Basketball League as a recreational league for the children.
• We want all teams and players to feel that they are playing in a safe environment and that their experience is a positive one.
• Also remember that our referees are doing their best and we are trying to reinforce good sportsmanship within our league.
• Please notify the League Director of any problem that you may have, and it will be handled accordingly.
