BASKETBALL PROGRAM INFORMATION 2007 -2008
FACILITIES
NVA will use gym space at both Central School in Lake Bluff and Lake Forest Country Day School
in Lake Forest. Central School Gym will be the primary location with LFCDS used occasionally.
 
DAYS AND TIMES
Kids will meet on an average of two times per week. Sometimes it may be a little less and sometimes
a little more. Register your child for this league knowing that despite printing days and times of potential
  games and practices, we are sometimes "bumped" due to school plays, concerts, family fun nights,
fund raising events, etc. that are also held in the gyms we utilize.
Start times for games rotate, so there is no set time for games. If a league is listed to play between
4:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M., you should be aware that a game or practice may be scheduled anytime between
these hours for the day listed.
START & FINISH DATES
Kindergarten, 1st Grade Boys League, 2nd Grade Boys League 1st & 2nd Grade Girls League and 3rd & 4th Grade Girls
League begin the first Monday after Thanksgiving (November 26th) and run through late February. The
exact finish date varies year to year because it depends on the number of teams. But for rough planning
purposes it's always been around the 15th to 20th of February.
3rd Grade Boys League, 4th & 5th Grade Boys League, 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Boys Leaguea and 5th, 6th & 7th Grade Girls
League s all begin the first week in January (after winter vacation break) and wrap up after spring break in April
 
UNIFORMS
The program begins with six preseason practices.  Kids may wear any practice clothing for these sessions.
Game uniforms will be issued after the preseason practices end when the team rosters and game
schedules are released. All uniforms need to be returned at the end of the season.
REGISTRATION DUE DATES **
Registration is a first come, first serve. Maximum number of participants for each league is listed next to the
league description. (see below for more info)
Some levels close faster than others. Others may remain open up to the start of the program. Levels which are closed
