an even distribution of talent. Children in the same family in the same
division will be on the same team. If you have a neighbor who is in the
same division as your child we will try to put them on the same team (No
Guarantees). Head Coaches carpooling requests will be honored first. Do
not request friends to be on the same team. We will only match neighbors
for carpooling purposes only. Once teams are formed, it will not be possible
to move children to other teams. Fair and balanced teams will be our first
priority.

HK Youth Basketball League Frequently
Asked Questions:
1)
Why are games at 7 pm on a weeknights, not earlier in the evening?
Answer:
We have practices from 5 - 6:45 pm.
2)
Why not have all the games on Saturdays instead of just a few?
Answer:
The Recreation Dept. must pay time and ½ in custodial
charges on weekends. There are no charges on weeknights. This is a savings
of several thousands of dollars when we limit the number of weekend games.
3)
Why wasn't my carpooling request honored?
Answer:
Although we try very hard to honor carpooling requests, we are
not always able to do so. Teams are put together based on a number of
factors. We take "day of the week your child can't practice"
first. Then we look at their skill rating (as rated by last year's coach
and at In-Person Registration), height, & carpooling requests. Our
goal is to make fair and balanced teams. Putting all the "best players"
in a division on the same team due to carpooling requests is not fair
to other teams.
4)
Why can't the players wear earrings or put tape or a Band-Aid over them?
Answer:
a) For the safety of the players, earrings are not allowed.
If a child gets hit in the head with the ball, it can result in a very
serious injury. b) We follow HS Basketball rules which strictly
forbid jewelry. Thus, the legal ramifications to all concerned are very
serious.
5)
Why is the score not kept in the Training Division?
Answer:
This is an instructional league - the focus of this division is to teach
the children how to play basketball - not on winning or losing. When we
previously kept score in this division, we found that a few good players
dominated the scoring, scores were very lopsided, and having a 40-8 game
with one player scoring 36 points is disheartening to the players, coaches
& parents.
6)
Why are there games that have no referee?
Answer:
Our referees are parent volunteers. We need more parents to help
out. Our referees are taken from a very short list. With 30 teams, there
are 15 games per week that need to be covered. This is a monumental task
when fewer and fewer parents offer to referee each year. Only 3 parent
referees attended our Referee Training Clinic!
7)
How do we know if a game is canceled due to the weather?
Answer:
If there is no school or an early dismissal due to snow, there
are no games. For weekend cancellations or last minute weather issues
- check Ch. 3, 4, or 8; or call the HK Rec. Hotline (345-8334).
