PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE COVID QUARANTINE RULES AND GUIDELINES DICTATED BY THE SCHOOLS. ANYONE FOUND DEFYING THE GUIDELINES COULD FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTION, POTENTAILLY SUSPENSION FROM THE CBA SEASON. 

IF A PLAYER IS SENT HOME FROM SCHOOL DUE TO COVID EXPOSURE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE SCHOOL GUIDLINES, AND APPLY THEM TO CBA,  REGARDLESS OF A NEGATIVE TEST.

THE SCHOOL GIVES A RETURN DATE, THAT IS THE DATE THE PLAYER IS ALLOWED BACK TO CBA. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE! IF THIS PREVENTS A PLAYER FROM ATTENDING A GAME PLEASE CONTACT YOUR COACH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Believe it or not, we are already at the Thanksgiving break!! the opening month flew by!!

That means that December is right aroung the corner.. which means we are nearing the start of our December calendar drawings!! Thank you to everyone who has already returned your calendars stubs and payments! We have had a great start already!!

Reminder that we are asking that the remaining stubs and payments be dropped off to us during the weekend of December 4th. There will be a box at the scorers table at the Middle school for the duration of the games that day. I can also be found sitting at the scorers tables myself on Monday nights from 6pm - 9pm so if you miss it on Saturday 12/4 you can find me there on the Monday following. I will wait until that day to start the drawings! 

Instructional coaches who meet at Washington Oak... our ask is that you gather the calendar materials from your players and drop them off at the Middle School on 12/4.

We will of course continue to take them throughout the month but drawings will officially begin that first full week of December, so get them in to give your family and friends the most chances to win! Checks will be mailed directly to winners! 

Also... before December 11th I will be counting up to see who our 3 biggest sellers are!! Winners will receive CBA Merchandise (and the table will be set up on 12/11!) 

Feel free to make as many photocopies that you like... and happy selling!!

Feel free to contact me with any questions! MJMartin6@verizon.net

Below you will find the list of players selected for the 5th Grade All-Star Team.  I can tell you that this has not been an easy process over the last couple of weeks.  There is alot of talented players, alot of good kids, and alot of kids that I like.  26 kids were at the last tryout.  After the last tryout it was my hope that we would have a second team, but due to the tryout process getting pushed back and RIYBA needed to know as a whole league how many teams we will be having it is not possible this year.  My hope for next year is that if we have a big turn out again that we will have a second team.  I can assure you that I am not the type of coach only committed to the 10 kids I selected, but I am committed to the whole age group, any kid for that matter looking to learn the game of basketball.  With that being said thank you all for trying out and congratulations to the players that made it.

Thank you,

Coach Henry

Good Luck in the 2021/2022 Season

There is to be no ball bouncing in the hallways at any of the schools. Players who are waiting to enter the gym for a game are to hold the basketball until they are on the court. Rowdy behavior, ball bouncing, and hall wondering will get our gym privileges revoked. So, we expect coaches and parents to help enforce these rules. 

​RULE REFRESHER

• 2 TIMEOUTS PER HALF
• If not for strategy, please use them to give players a breather - playing with a mask is tough
• SUBSTITUTIONS ARE MADE EVERY 4 MINUTES
• EACH PLAYER MUST SIT AT LEAST ONCE PER HALF
  • ​Only exception is when a team has less than 7 players
    • SCORE KEEPERS ARE THERE TO REMIND COACHES OF THESE RULES AND WILL INFORM YOU WHEN YOU HAVE FREE SUBS
• PRESSING RULES ARE TO BE OBIDED BY AND DIFFER PER DIVISION
  • Please reach out if you are unsure of your division pressing rules
    • BIG EAST DIVISION - NO PRESSING THIS SEASON 

Thank you to all the players who tried out for the All Star Teams but this season we will not be have a 4th Grade or 7th Grade Boys B team due to the lack of players.

The 5th Grade teams will be announced after the final tryouts this week.
