What is the level of commitment?
VERY HIGH !!! We generally tell people that aside from school and family, rep basketball must be the player’s #1 activity through the winter. If there are any conflicts between rep basketball and other extracurricular activities such as hockey, indoor soccer, swimming, dance, martial arts, music, etc., rep basketball must win out, pretty much every time! The commitment level is especially important at the Novice U10, Atom U11, and Major Atom U12 divisions – there are shift rules that require teams to have 10 players in uniform for each game, able to play, otherwise the game will be forfeited.
