Curious about the practice and game schedule?
A sample basketball pre-season (pre-Winter Break) schedule: NovDecSchedule
A sample basketball season schedule: JanFebSchedule
Typically, the 7U Instructional Divisions will practice on Saturday and play games on Sunday (with one additional game on a weekday).
Roanoke County Parks & Rec creates the practice and game schedule. The early season practice schedule is typically released a week after Evaluation Day. The post Winter Break schedule (which includes games and practices) is typically released in the second or third week of December.
Questions about the local Basketball Rules?You can find the local rules here:
Roanoke County Parks & Recreation Rules PageWhat is the Evaluation/Draft day all about?Players in the 9U
and above divisions are selected by their coaches. To get an idea of a players abilities, players and coaches meet on a Sunday, usually in November. One at a time, the players are asked to execute a few basketball activities (dribbling, shooting jump shots, making layups). This is
not a tryout -- everyone who signs up (during regular registration) is placed on a roster. After the player has completed his activities, he is free to leave. After all evaluations for a division are complete, coaches then meet and select the players using a serpentine draft. Draft order is determined by drawing numbers from a "hat". Players that do not attend evaluations have their names drawn from a "hat" (in draft order) to determine the team for which they will play. Teams are announced a few days after the draft.
Please note: Players in the 7U divisions are placed on teams -- not drafted. 7U players
do not attend an Evaluation/Draft day.

A copy of the player's birth certificate is required to verify age/eligibility. A legible, valid copy must be provided before a player is placed on a roster. The system allows for the upload of the birth certificate during registration. Once the player's age/birthdate is verified, the file is deleted.
