GCAA Basketball Registration

GCAA Basketball Registration is underway (Please note that we are not associated with Garden City Basketball).

The Garden City Athletic Association (GCAA) is accepting applications for intramural Basketball. The season will start December 1, 2007 and run until March 15, 2008.

The GCAA has over 50 years experience in community sports. Our intramural basketball program had over 750 participants last year from K thru 8th grade. We had almost 300 adult volunteers in our basketball program.

We offer intramural leagues as follows:

2nd grade - boys and girls (first time ever!! uniforms, refs etc) anyone who joined our 1st grade clinics last year knows these kids are game ready! Lets play games this year!

3rd grade - boys

4th grade - boys

3rd+4th - girls

5th+6th - boys

5th-8th - girls

We offer K + 1st grade clinics at St Pauls. Run by a host of former players and dedicated dads we try to offer quality clinics with emphasis on learning and fun.

We offer grade based weeknight clinics run by professionals. How about Rising Stars monday clinics last year where attendance was fantastic and the boys and girls received free, firsthand teaching from former collegiate greats Danny Gimpel and Chuck Everson, among others.

We offer professionally run coaches clinics.

Our intramural games for 3rd grade and above will have scoreboards, clocks, referees.

Standings are kept in 4th grade and above. Playoffs are held for 3rd grade and above.

Rules for each division are posted on our website.

All our intramural teams are selected by a 'draft' process ensuring that the talent pool is spread as evenly as possible. Our goal is to have equal teams in every division.

Travel players are invited to participate and are highlighted at drafts so coaches know who plays travel and who doesn't.

We screen every adult volunteer thru the sex offender registry. We screened the people who ran the organizations we brought in to run our clinics last year. Online signup is popular these days. The GCAA does not offer this because we simply don't want your childs personal information sourced out to a third party organization. Although that information is said to be kept private we would rather collect applications the old fashioned way to ensure confidentiality.

Applications are available at St Pauls, Rec Dep't and on our website www.gc-aa.com, or type this link into your browser "www.gc-aa.com/basketballapplication2007.doc" and mail to the GCAA.

Please realize there are two different intramural programs in town and make sure you sign up for GCAA Basketball. Visit our website for more information about playing in the GCAA Travel program which starts in October. Join a winning program!
