General Information
• Participants are grouped by age: grades 3 & 4, grades 5 & 6 and grades 7 & 8 are combined to create age-appropriate teams.
• Players are evaluated before the start of the season to ensure proper team placement. No friendship requests allowed.
• All games are officiated by certified referees.
• Those interested in coaching a team should submit a coaching application form to Kent Hengels via email at khengels@barringtonparkdistrict.org.
• Tournament is a two-game guarantee, not a double elimination.
• Coaches for each team will determine practice times for that team. All players must attend one practice per week to be eligible for equal playing time during Sunday games.
Practice Information
• All practices are held during the week at various District 220 schools.
• Coaches for each team determine the location (school), time and day of the week your child will practice.
• Players will be required to attend one practice per week in order to qualify for equal playing time on Sundays.
• Practices will be canceled whenever there is a school closing or school function, including winter break.
* No refunds will be given due to conflicts with practice and/or game times.
** If enrollment is too low for the Girls Basketball League, we join an intervillage league (see bottom of page for information).
