It's time for basketball sign-ups!
Please note: This program is for Thetford residents, or students who attend school in Thetford (example: OFS students or students who pay tuition to attend TES) only.
PLEASE NOTE Important Dates:
>This sign-up is open until 10/28, the quicker we know team sizes, the better. Please sign-up as soon as you can. Thank you!
>Basketball Runs from Dec 1- Feb 19
>Some coaches are adding some pre-season practice dates in November as well. I have not yet added those dates.
Scholarships are available to those in need of assistance. Please contact the Recreation Director.
***Grades 3,4,5,6 - Uniform jerseys will be loaned to you if you need one. If you ordered a basketball uniform last year, you may use the one that you own. Uniforms this year will have no player names on them but I absolutely want to encourage folks to use their uniforms with names from last year.
Option 1: Use your purchased uniform from last year with player's name.
Option 2: Request to loan a uniform (there will be a separate sign-up for this coming soon).
Coaching and Schedules:
It is best to have at least 2 coaches per team - we need more coaches to join us.

Important Rules While Attending Practices and Games:
It is important to note that during both practices and games in all locations (home or away), there are rules in place that always need to be followed by families and guests.
1) Adults who are not coaches need to sit and observe. It is not helpful, appropriate or desirable for non-coaches to coach from the sidelines.
2) Children who are not on the team (doing practice or a game) must always stay with and near their adult(s).
3) Children may not be on the stage and may not be on the gym floor (no matter what area of the gym is or is not being used for practice). Children must either stay on the bleachers with their adult(s) or be outside with their adult(s).
4) While attending practices and games, always remember that you as a family/group have agreed to our behavior policy. Please act in a respectful manner and respect other individuals no matter who they are (coaches, players, referees, others). It is very important for adults to model appropriate and respectful behavior for the kids at all times.
