2010-11 BASKETBALL INFO (click on FAQ above for more details)

 

South Jeffco Sports Association (SJSA) sponsors competitive and recreational basketball programs for young athletes that support our two high school areas, Chatfield and Columbine.  Our recreational boys and girls league is composed entirely of South Jeffco teams, and is divided into recreational divisions for 3^rd – 8^th grade, and competitive recreational divisions for 4^th – 8^th grade.  Our competitive boys and girls league is part of the Gold Crown League which includes teams from as far north as Fort Collins and as far south as Colorado Springs, and is open to boys and girls in the 6^th – 8^th grades.

The age requirement for participation in our programs is based strictly on grade levels. For the recreational program, boys and girls may “play up” one grade level (i.e. – a 2^nd grader can elect to play on a 3^rd grade team, a 3^rd grader can elect to play on a 4^th grade team, etc.) Under no circumstances may an older grade level “play down” to a younger grade level.   For Gold Crown teams, boys and girls are allowed to “play up” a grade level (based upon approval from the boy’s or girl’s competitive director). Any player wishing to play up may not attend tryouts unless they have been approved to tryout prior to the tryout date.

 

The regular season for Gold Crown teams starts in early January and ends in late February, followed by a league tournament. Through a tryout process, Gold Crown teams are formed by a committee consisting of the high school coaches along with the South Jeffco basketball directors.  The number of Gold Crown teams for each grade is determined by the number and ability of the participants.  Any player not making a Gold Crown team will have the opportunity to play in the South Jeffco recreational basketball program.

 

The season for our recreational teams starts in early November and finishes in late February, followed by a season ending tournament the last week in February.  Recreational teams are put together by the respective Directors of the recreational boys and girls programs.  For the boys program, new players that register and players not returning to their previous teams may go through a tryout process (4^th & 5^th grade only) or be placed on existing teams (all grade levels). For the girls program, new players and players not returning to their previous teams will be placed on existing teams for all grade levels.

 

SJSA does not support coaches who attempt to coerce players and coaches from leaving teams to join a new team.  A breach of conduct may result in a player and coach being unable to participate for the season.  The draft process is governed by procedures documented in the SJSA by-laws.  These detailed procedures may be obtained from the SJSA office.
