How Teams Are Formed
The Tallowood Kingdom Basketball program aims to form teams in which players play with their friends. For that reason, teams are formed based on information provided for each player during the registration process.
Parent and player input includes both head coach and teammate preferences. (Head coach approval should be confirmed before registering.) School and church affiliation are also considered.
Teams are formed based on the following priorities, in order:
1. Player Preference for Coach
-We consider a player’s request to play for a specific coach above all else.
2. Teammate Preference
-We do our best to honor requests from players who wish to be on the same team as specific teammates.
3. School Attended
-When possible, players from the same school are grouped together to encourage familiarity and camaraderie.
There are no tryouts.
Team formation coordinators will form the teams with input from parents, players, and coaches. Every effort will be made to assign each player to a team that represents the best fit for that particular player.
All players should spend more time on the court than on the bench. Accordingly, team size guidelines are as follows:
Boys Leagues
All grades: 9-10 players
Girls Leagues
All grades: 9-10 players
