The WCCC YBL offers a safe, clean and exciting environment where more
than 500 children of our community learn the values of good sportsmanship,
teamwork and competitive play. We play a
10-week schedule, with one game and one practice each week. A single-elimination
tournament follows the end of the regular schedule.
LEAGUE STRUCTURE The WCCC YBL is organized into divisions
based on a player’s grade in school. The
divisions available for the 2023-2024 season are as follows: *

* Divisions may be re-aligned based on registration numbers.
PLAYING
OUT OF DIVISION At the discretion of the
WCCCYBL, Board of Directors a player may play up or down from his/her
designated division pending skills assessment and space availability. Playing out of division is intended to be the
exception not the rule. The player
will need to attend the Skills Assessment for both his/her designated division
and the division where placement is requested.
Please indicate when you register if you would like to play out of
division.
Any girl interested in playing in a division designated “Boys” may
make that selection at registration. All
“Boys” divisions are co-ed. Please
contact the League Registrar ([email protected]) if the division in
which you want to register your child is not available.
GRADE
VERIFICATION The WCCC-YBL reserves
the right to request grade verification from any player, at any time during the
season. Players who are home-schooled
will be assigned to a division based on age.
REGISTRATION Registration for the Winter League opens September 10th and will close when
each division reaches its capacity or on October 15th, whichever comes first.
Some of our divisions do reach capacity, so we encourage you to register
early. Once a division is full, a wait
list will be started with no guarantee that players on the wait list will be
placed on a team.
PLAYERS ARE NOT
REGISTERED TO PLAY UNTIL ALL REGISTRATION FEES HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL.
You may register and pay online at www.wcccbasketball.com. Please email the League registrar if you need
assistance with your registration.
FEES Registration fees for the 2023-2024 season are: $160 for first child, $140 for each additional child registered from the same family. A $10 post-game drink fee will also be added
to all Mini-Mite and Junior Mite division player registrations (grades K-2).
Financial assistance is available on a sliding scale to assist
families experiencing financial hardship.
If you would like to request assistance, please contact the League
Treasurer ([email protected]) and a Financial Assistance Application
will be sent to you.
Refunds: Registration
fees may be refunded (net of a $25 cancellation fee) up until October 15, 2023. No refunds will be made after that date.
UNIFORMS Team game shirts are furnished as part of the registration
fee. STANDARD WCCC SHORTS ARE REQUIRED
FOR GAMES and are not included in your registration fee. WCCC shorts cost $15 / pair if paid with your
child’s registration fee. Cost is $20 /
pair if purchased at the Skills Assessment sessions or later. Players who have WCCC shorts from prior
participation in the WCCCYBL, are not required to purchase new shorts each
season. Players will not be
allowed to participate in League games unless wearing the proper team game
shirt and WCCC shorts.
SKILLS ASSESSMENT All players in all divisions are strongly
encouraged to attend a skills assessment, regardless of whether he/she
has played previously in the WCCCYBL.
Each year we have many new coaches and every coach deserves to know the
playing ability of all players registered in their division. Skills assessments will begin the week of
October 22nd. The schedule for Skills Assessments
will be posted on the League website (www.wcccbasketball.com) in
early October.
TEAM ASSIGNMENT A
week or two following the division skills assessment, coaches will meet to make
player team assignments. You will
receive an email when your child is assigned to a team.
PRACTICE
AND GAME SCHEDULES Teams practice one night a week
for one hour beginning in early November.
Your child’s practice will be at the same place, day and time each
week. You will not know your child’s
practice night until he/she is assigned to a team. You can indicate
when you register if there is a night when your child
cannot practice and we will make sure he/she is not assigned
to practice on that night. Players cannot choose their
practice night.
Teams
play one game a week on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday afternoon beginning
the weekend of December 1st. A tentative
game schedule will be posted to the League website prior to the division skills
assessment. A final game schedule will
be posted in mid-November.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES The WCCC Youth Basketball League is a completely
volunteer organization and in order to continue it must have adults who are
willing to serve in a variety of capacities.
If you are interested in coaching or assisting with a team, please indicate
your interest on your child’s registration.
This information will be forwarded to the appropriate Division Director
who, along with the WCCCYBL Board of Directors make all coaching
selections. Please also consider
participating as a Board member and assisting with general league operations
and fundraising.
