Important Updates

  • This year, we are changing our player evaluation process. There will be no callbacks; please see the details below.
  • Registration closes on November 1 for 5th through 8th grades. High School registration will remain open until early December.
  • We expect to have over 20 teams again this season. It is critical to register by November 1 to ensure an accurate headcount. After this date, we will not be able to add additional players.

If you are interested in coaching one of our basketball teams, especially at the JV level, please reply directly to this email. We are in need of new coaches this season.

Season Information & Important Dates

  • Divisions: JV (5th & 6th grades), Varsity (7th & 8th grades), High School (9th–12th grades). No evaluations for High School teams.
  • We aim to limit all teams to 10 players or fewer to maximize playing time during games.
  • There will be one “Wildcat” team for each of the following: JV Boys, JV Girls, Varsity Boys, and Varsity Girls. The Wildcat teams play in the most competitive CYO division and are made up of the most advanced players at each level.
  • Non-Wildcat teams have equal playing time requirements for all players. JV Wildcat teams guarantee a minimum of one quarter of playing time per player in all regular season games (not playoffs). There is no minimum playing time for Varsity Wildcat teams.
  • All teams will have at least one practice per week. We will do our best to accommodate teams wishing to schedule an additional weekly practice.

Player Evaluations (New Process)

This season, we will hold player evaluations (not tryouts or callbacks). Each level will have two evaluation sessions; we encourage all players to attend at least one session so we can accurately assess their skills and abilities. This process will help us form Wildcat teams and balance talent across non-Wildcat teams. Players hoping to be selected for a Wildcat team should attend both sessions if possible. Each player will receive a practice pinnie at their evaluation session to keep and use during practices throughout the season.

Evaluation Location (all sessions):

 

Delaware County Christian School – Malin Campus

462 Malin Rd, Newtown Square, PA 19073
