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.

Payment Information:
Registration fee is $90. Early Bird registrants will receive a $10 discount.
Payment is by Credit Card only.
Late Registrations:
Once late registration begins, a $40.00 late fee will be charged. Late Registrants Are Placed on a Wait List And Are Not Guaranteed Placement on a Team. There is no charge when a player is placed on the wait list. A charge is only assessed when a player is activated from the wait list and payment must be made before the player is put on a roster.
Age Verification:
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.
Refunds:
No refunds will be given after registrants are assigned to a team/teams are drafted. A $25.00 service charge will apply to any approved refunds. Late fees may not be refundable.
