Welcome players and parents to the Cedarburg Basketball Club program. The program is a non-profit organization dedicated to the youth of the community which provides boys and girls the opportunity to play competitive basketball. The Cedarburg Basketball Club is not affiliated with the Cedarburg Recreation Department or the Cedarburg School District. The CBC funds are raised by registration fees, summer and winter leagues, concessions, and our annual spring tournament held each year.

PHILOSOPHY AND MISSION STATEMENT

To organize and facilitate highly competitive and instructional basketball program outside of, or in addition to, school basketball for boys and girls beginning at sixth grade through eight grades. Each team within the CBC program is formed based on the participants being grade specific. The same standards are required for any incoming teams participating in the CBC leagues. The CBC will monitor all teams and enforce the grade specific rules to the best of our ability. To be eligible for selection by a team coach the player must attend or reside within the Cedarburg School District boundaries.

GOAL

The goal of the program is to educate youths on the proper techniques and fundamentals stressing teamwork, discipline, commitment, and a positive attitude. Providing a learning basketball environment will allow the participants in the program to excel and increase their ability to compete at a highly competitive level.

TEAMS/TRYOUTS/PLAYING TIME

Tryouts will be held each year for incoming 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade boys and girls in the spring for evaluators to grade each individual skill level. The CBC uses unbiased volunteers to evaluate each player trying out for the team. There are two opportunities to try out for the basketball teams. Players are encouraged to participate in both tryout sessions. Players that make the squad are invited to play in the CBC program. The CBC will support a minimum of one team at each grade level. The number of players on each team will be determined based on player evaluations and the number of tryout participants. Playing time is determined by attitude, attendance and participation at practices. It is the coach’s discretion on how playing time is divided amongst the members of the team. The coaches are dedicated to providing all players with the opportunity to play a meaningful role on the team. Players must comprehend the offensive and defensive schemes the coach is implementing in order to make a positive contribution to the team.

PRACTICE TIME

Practice time availability is determined by the practice time coordinator and the availability of the facilities within the general area. Gym time will be assigned to teams with the following priority: 8th grade teams, 7th grade teams, 6th grade teams and 5th grade teams. The goal of the club is to obtain as much practice time as we can in order to enhance each players skill for the benefit of the team.

FEES AND BENEFITS

The fee for each player is $250.00. All paperwork and release forms must be completed before your player may participate. The fee includes uniforms, practices, summer and winter leagues, additional tournaments, clinics, and parent admission to all CBC events held at CHS. This schedule should result in your child participating in approximately 42 games.

VOLUNTEERS

The key to continuing the successful CBC program is the volunteers that donate their time. The board members and coaches are volunteering giving up many evenings and weekends to make your child the best possible basketball player they can be. We need parents help out with concessions and other tasks during our spring tournament and winter and summer leagues. The coaches will have sign up sheets for all these events and your participation is greatly appreciated. We can't run a successful program without the parents help!

It will be expected that players will attend all practices and games unless excused by the coach for good cause. Absences, even if approved, may affect playing time as well.
