School Basketball

Im just wondering if its possible to have a 'A' grade team if its the only team nominated in that age group?

yes that is an interesting point - the rule of how many teams your school nominates means how high you go is wrong.

probably for 60% of the games it is not too bad - but sometimes a smaller school has a good group and because they are their only team they would end up in C2 grade - so technically you would have to have 3-4 teams to play sat morning a grade school ball.

like district it should be promotion / relegation - based on last season, nominations etc

I will leave my school nameless but we have 5 16.1 players and r playing open 'c's (We are in year 10)we win games 120 to 10. This is pointless its bad for the teams we play against and we get nothing out of it. This is a 'silly' rule and should be changed!

have you tried taking the matter up with whoever can alter the system i.e - school ball organisers

exactly - on outside scrubber courts as well

who knows who set the rules up - taht is why you can not really take school ball seriously here on sat mornings - go in justin's BASA basketball festival or SASSA knock out for serious ball.

my experiences show that the people who set these competitions up for saturday morning school ball are not mega knowledgable on the basketball scene

sounds like a good team - GO TO NATIONALS in ALBURY in December - that is a top level , national comp - full on
