Evaluations for Boys in Grades 3-8 and Girls in Grades 3-6

Family/Player Dates (2023-2024 Season)

Parents are required to attend Evaluations for the first ~45 minutes of the evaluation session. Parents will be briefed by AYB Board Members (typically the President and the Level Coordinator) about general AYB policies as well as issues specific to their division.

In an effort to make teams as even as possible, AYB conducts evaluations so that the coaches can assess the players before the teams are picked.  It is extremely important that your son/daughter attend evaluations.

Players new to AYB will not be placed on a team until and unless they have been evaluated.

The evaluation schedule is listed below.  All evaluations are at the Clearfield Recreation Center.  Please have your child there 10 minutes early to sign in.  For Boys in grades 3-8 and Girls in grades 3-6 you must have registered prior to evaluations.

If you are unable to make the evaluation listed below, please contact the Level Coordinator (see General Info -> Board of Directors).

Playing Schedule for Boys in 3rd-8th Grade and Girls in 3rd - 6th Grade

Players will be assigned to teams after player evaluations have been held (see dates and times above). Typically, all teams are scheduled to play for one hour twice a week. Some of these sessions will be practices and some will be games. Each team typically plays 14-16 games during the regular season except for the 3rd and 4th grade levels where more practices are scheduled.  All teams make the playoffs.  

Yearly Schedule Boys 3rd-8th Grade and Girls 3rd-6th Grade Divisions

  • Your coach will call you on Sunday, Oct 22.
  • Practices begin on Monday, Oct 23 for some teams/divisions.
  • Every effort is made to schedule every team to play once during the week (usually in the 5:30-10:00pm range) and once on Saturday (anywhere in 8:00a-8:00p).  During the week, it is typical for days and times to rotate so that all divisions share in those times viewed as desirable and those viewed as less than desirable.  On Saturdays, times will change from week to week depending on schedules and availability of courts, among other reasons.
  • Final Date of Play (Championship Saturday): March 9

Basketfest for Boys in 3rd-8th Grade and Girls in 3rd-6th Grade

Basketfest will be held on Saturday, November 18.

  • Basketfest is best described as "organized chaos." 
  • This is our kick-off event. 
  • Every team will play 3 mini-games during the day.  To be specific, each game will be the first half of a game (using rules for the division that apply to the first half of a game). 
  • Clocks will run, scores will be kept, and for the only time all year, we ask parents/coaches to officiate the games. 
  • Enjoy!
