KYS 2006-’07 Basketball
Knox Youth Sports basketball is for girls and boys age 4 to 12. Games and practices are conducted in gyms in West Knoxville. All players are required to play at least 50 percent of each game. (Playing requirements may be relaxed for a player if that player continually misses practices and/or games and in cases of bad behavior or conduct. In such cases, KYS will allow coaches to restrict a player’s court time.) Children who plan to tryout for a school team, but want to play with KYS if they don’t make their school’s squad, should still send in the registration form. (Note: Registrations must be received by Oct. 22, 2007, to assure your child will be placed on a team.)
Gyms/Tryout/Workout Sessions/Season
All games will be played at Webb School, Deane Hill Rec Center, West Hills Elementary School, Rocky Hill School, and the James Agee Gym at West High School. All registrants (except boys 6-under and girls 8-under) MUST attend in order to be drafted to teams. Sessions will be used to familiarize players with the fundamentals of the game and for coaches to evaluate players prior to the draft. Sessions will be held Nov. 4 at West Hills Elementary School. The season will last from Dec. 1, 2007, to no later than early March 2008. Practice will begin in November. Games are played on weekends.
Registration Fees
The recommended registration fee is $110 for 4- and 5-year-olds and $155 for all other players. If your family cannot pay the entire sum, scholarships are available. In order to qualify for a scholarship, please send a letter of request explaining your hardship. In any case, all registration forms must be accompanied by either payment of a fee or a letter of request. All requests for scholarships will be kept confidential. If KYS does not receive either payment or scholarship request by the time teams are formed or if you have not payed for your child’s registration for a prior KYS season, your child will not be on a team.
