Information about ordering team and individual photos for the Winter Youth Basketball program (pdf document)
Team formation takes place immediately following final registration (December 10). Program participants are placed on teams by school and grade level, then matched with volunteer coaches. Teams are scheduled to play seven games in a recreational league.
It is important to understand the "no request" rule. Parents and participants may not be granted a request for a speicfic team or coach. Likewise, coaches may not be granted a request for specific players or friends of their children to play on a team they coach. Establishing the "no request" rule was necessary to ensure the random formation of teams, strive toward achieving the goals of the program, meet and make new friends, and work cooperatively with others.

Practice Information
Coaches for the 4th-8th grade leagues will be assigned practice times and locations. Practices are requested through the league coordinator, beginning December 11. Coaches may practice with their teams up to two times per week, one hour for each practice.
There are no practices on days that the public schools are closed. For example, there will be no practice on January 15 and February 19 in observation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents' Day, respectively.
Positive Coaching Alliance
The City of Salem is a partner with the Positive Coaching Alliance. We strive to work with our volunteer coaches to help them become the best coach possible. Visit our Coaches Corner for resources and more information.
