Leagues and Divisions

  • AGE CUT OFF IS SEPT 1 – THIS WILL BE ENFORCED.  IF YOU NEED AGE EXCEPTIONS, YOU MUST EMAIL US ASAP FOR PERMISSION.  Weaker kids are allowed to play down if approved, stronger kids are allowed to play up.

Boys 8-9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U and 16U (no high school varsity players allowed) – Please make sure mo@gothambasketball.org knows your concerns on skill level, division fit, age cutoff.

Girls 8-10U, 11U, 12U, 14U A and 14U B, and 16U (no high school varsity players allowed.  On girls side with regard to varsity player status, it’s case-by-case basis, but only if the player is not getting in varsity games at school). Note that the girls grade 5-6 grade 7-8 – usually there is a clear A and clear B distinction (email mo@gothambasketball.org with your concerns).

CONCERNS ABOUT TEAM PLACEMENT & LEVEL OF PLAY

For coaches and program directors who are concerned about their team being placed in the appropriate division, please note that as a league our goal is to provide competitive games each and every week.  We understand that no kid benefits from being on a team that is consistently blowing out opponents or losing by wide margins. While this makes the scheduling puzzle much more difficult, we always put extra effort into the process.

  • Prior to scheduling, we review all details you provide regarding the skill level of each team you are entering.
  • We wait until all teams are filled in and combine your report on your team’s level with our knowledge on all participating teams in order to create the divisions, which may be split or altered depending on the number of registrations at each level.
  • Even during the season, we review each weekend’s results for lopsided games and adjust the remaining schedule accordingly.
  • If necessary, we add non-division games to provide additional competition or a needed confidence boost.

It’s due to this last extra, extremely time consuming weekly review process that we ask for flexibility and patience around slight changes week to week and division make ups.

1-WE RUN THE SCHEDULE THROUGH TOURNEY MACHINE.2-PARENT-CAPTAINS or ASSISTANTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO HELP WITH THE SCHEDULE.3-MAKE SURE YOU EMAIL US WITH YOUR CONFLICTS AND PREFERRED DATES/TIMES.  WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAMS, BUT WE NEED ADVANCE NOTICE.  WE ALL KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS TO HAVE A CHANGE IN SCHEDULE AND HOW PARENTS AND KIDS REACT.[/expand]

Please spread the word to other teams that are the right fit for our league.

Email mo@momotion.org or mo@gothambasketball.org if you have questions.
