Basketball Registration Is Underway

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

We offer intramural leagues as follows:

K-1st - clinics for younger players.

2nd grade - boys and girls (first time ever!! uniforms, refs etc)

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.

Our intramural games for 2nd graders will have clocks and referees. Players will have uniforms. No standings will be kept.

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

Standings will not be kept but playoffs are held at season end.

4th grade and above is regular basketball with some specialized rules to ensure fair play. Standings are kept and playoffs are held at season end.

Rules for each division are posted on our website, www.gc-aa.com.

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. No 'super' teams are created by anyone, the process is monitored as closely as possible. Its not perfect. If your child ends up on a weaker team it is a coincidence. Travel players are invited to participate and are highlighted at drafts so coaches know who plays travel and who doesn't.

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.

TRAVEL Basketball tryouts are coming up in September, watch for email announcements and updates in the GC News. If you don't receive GCAA emails go to our website to sign up. Join a winning program!
