2009 Boy's Basketball Practice Guidelines
The 5th, 6th, & 7th Grade boy's may begin practicing the week of October 19th. You may not begin practice before this time. The AAU Coordinator will provide all teams with 2 practices each week. Coaches are not permitted to hold unauthorized practices or penalize players for unauthorized practice attendance. Coaches are responsible for scheduling their team practices with the league coordinator. For privacy reasons we do not post the practice schedule on our website. Please be aware that gym space is very hard to come by, we do our best to accommodate every team with the most convenient practice schedule as possible. Practice schedules cannot be changed once they are set. Occasionally, some teams may also have to share a gym with another team. We understand this is an inconvenience but it is the only way we can give the large number of teams in our league equal practice times. Keep in mind that AAU practices will follow school district calendars; if the school is closed due to holidays and/or school out days, there will be no practice on those days. The AAU Coordinator will notify coaches regarding unexpected gym closures. The YMCA and the Boise/Meridian School District are not responsible for teams showing up to practice during a school event.
