BASKETBALL REGISTRATION

Please read the following page carefully before registering.

All any girl, or boy, needs to do to play in the VYI House Basketball League is to submit an online application to the League, in early September, pay the fee and attend an assessment session in October, as required for the appropriate grade level and gender.

Tryout dates, times, and locations will be displayed prominently on the website.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:
 

1. Online registration - this will save your family $$$ per individual registrant if submitted by mid-October for grades 1-8 and mid-November for HS leagues (exact cutoff dates determined by the league size and by the Commissioner/Treasurer). Late registrants may continue to use on-line registration but at a higher fee after the initial cutoff date. Families having more than two children are offered a discount for each additional child. To register, input the required data and use your credit card at any time. The registrant must attend a tryout on the scheduled dates in mid-October to late October (2nd- 8th grade, 1st graders exempt from tryouts), or in early-November for 9th grade and high school, or some other date agreed to by the League Commissioner.

 

2. If you experience difficulty registering on-line it is the applicant's responsibility to find a computer that works correctly. We will help you via email. VYI requires ALL parents/guardians (at least one per family) to become Volunteer Building Directors (Building Director). Building Directors are a requirement of Fairfax County to use their indoor facilities. They are responsible for supervision of players and spectators; interpreting rules and ensuring compliance; and for properly reporting all accidents and damage. We are a volunteer organization and need the support of the community.  If all our families take part, it is anticipated that someone would be responsible for a little over one game per season (there should be two at each game, one per side).  Exemptions can be granted by VYI Basketball.

 

3. TO REGISTER AFTER WE CLOSE THE SYSTEM IN EARLY NOVEMBER, YOU MUST FIRST CONTACT THE LEAGUE COMMISSIONER FOR YOUR CHILD'S GRADE & GENDER FOR PERMISSION TO JOIN THE LEAGUE. The league commissioner will then make arrangements to open the online registration system for you and you will be expected to complete the registration online.

4. If you want to car pool you must connect with your grade and gender commissioner with any requests for car pools. Forms sent to other locations including our main email address will be ignored.

 

5. PLEASE BE AWARE there are MANDATORY drafts and assignments for setting up 4th grade teams and older, that do not include provisions for carpools. We cannot guarantee any player placement.

 

6. To request a waiver of fees, you must indicate you want Financial Aid on your registration form.

 

7. Some or all games for 6th - 8th grades and many if not all games for high school ages will be on Sundays so if your beliefs preclude games on Sunday, you may not wish to register, as you will be subject to our Refund rules
