IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ!

Below, please find a few important notes about the registration process.  Please take a few minutes to read this in its entirety as it will answer many questions:

• All of the important dates for the youth opportunities can be found in the “Important Dates” documents:  GIRLS' IMPORTANT DATES  /  BOYS' IMPORTANT DATES 

• There is a description HERE of opportunities at each grade level for boys.  There is a description HERE of opportunities at each grade level for girls.

• We highly encourage all YOUTH parents to attend the informational meetings. MEETINGS WILL BE VIRTUAL THIS YEAR.  The head varsity coaches will go over their respective youth programs in detail and be available to answer any questions you may have.  The boys and girls programs are structured somewhat differently so please attend the appropriate meeting.  Here are the dates and times:  
  • Girls – Wednesday, September 6th 7:00pm – http://meet.google.com/hqe-fqig-bnm 
  • Boys – Wednesday, September 6th 7:45pm – https://meet.google.com/erd-vujs-zwj?hs=122&authuser=0

• If you have never been through the registration process, the webpage will prompt you to first create a “Sports Engine” account.  If you have registered in the past, your existing Username and Password will allow you to go directly into the registration.  The site should remember and pre-populate any information you had on file from a prior registrations.

• If you are registering more than one child, please register them all before checking out. 

• Some of the age groups will have multiple program options.  For example, a 2nd grade boy will have the option to sign up for Skills League and/or a Booster Club team.  Please sign up for ALL programs you are planning to do at this time in this one registration.  The program does not allow you to go back in and add on a program at a later date.  In the case that you change your mind in the future and need to add or remove a program, please contact me directly and I will help you. 

• The Booster Club Programs for both boys and girls require that every player purchase a Booster Club jersey and Booster Club shorts.  We encourage players to save on their cost and use their jersey and/or shorts from the prior season if they still fit and are in good shape.  In an effort to control our inventory, we have included in the registration an option to purchase both jerseys and shorts.  Due to the very high number of players we have in several grades, we are not able to take number requests; however, if you order a new jersey you will be given the same number you had last year if you include that number when registering.  If this is your first year, you will be assigned a number.  We apologize but this is the only way we can keep track so we don’t have an overlap in numbers.  In several grades we have more than 50 players participating.    

• The Booster Club subsidizes full uniforms for our 7th and 8th grade boys and girls players.  These uniforms are nicer than the Booster Club jerseys and are a bonus for sticking with the program.  We ask the parents to pay $50 toward jersey and shorts, and the Booster Club with pay the remaining cost (approximately $50-60) to cover the full uniform cost.  The Boys uniform size chart can be found here. The Girls uniform size chart can be found here.  Please note that the Booster Club will only subsidize one uniform per player.  If you are registering an 8th grade player who was issued a uniform in 7th grade but want a new uniform in 8th grade, you'll need to cover the full cost.

• ELIGIBILITY:  Only those who live within the boundaries of the USDD and those students who attend Altmeyer, Heritage, Dickinson, Foxview or De Pere Middle School are eligible to register.  If you have questions on eligibility please contact us at the number below.

• SHOOTING SHIRTS:  There will be no shooting shirts ordered as part of registration.  While we still encourage all players to order a shooting shirt, the opportunity to do so will be through a Flash Sale at an upcoming date.  This will allow the shirt to be shipped to you directly and avoid the logistical challenges associated with distribution and ordering.

• BAY AREA DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE (BADL):  We are again going to participate in this league.   This fee is incorporated in the registration.  The fee will be dependent upon your player’s grade and reflective of our cost to register teams in BADL at that level.
  • 2nd Grade:  There is no BADL for 2nd Grade boys or girls.
  • 3rd Grade:  Cost will be $65 per player.
  • 4th-8th Grade Boys:   The cost will be $80 per player.  
  • 4th-8th Grade Girls:   The cost will be $55 per player.  

• REGISTRATION DEADLINES:
  • September 13th - Boys and Girls Booster Club Teams 2nd-8th grade
  • October 12th - Boys and Girls 1st-2nd Grade Coed Skills Clinic 

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT

An organization like the Redbird Basketball Booster Club can only operate with a significant number of volunteers.  Last year we decided to implement a mandatory volunteer requirement for each family. It helped greatly with having adequate volunteers for our events!  Below are the key points:

• As part of this registration each family will be required to choose one event at which to volunteer (generally a 2-3 hour commitment) during the season.  If you have multiple children in the program, you only have to volunteer once.
• There are several dates and opportunities to volunteer.
  • 3 on 3 Tournament – This is a large tournament that we host on December 30th.  Volunteers will be needed for admissions, concessions and miscellaneous duties.
  • 6th Grade State – We host the 6th Grade State Tournament on March 25th and 26th.  Volunteers will be needed for admissions, concessions, scorers tables and miscellaneous duties.
  • BADL Host Dates – We will be a host side for the BADL League on November 18, December 9, December 10, January 20 and January 27.  Volunteers will be needed for admissions and miscellaneous duties.
  • Packers Parking – We park cars at Echo Ridge Dental at every home Packers game.  Two Families will be needed for each game.
• Coaches families need not volunteer.
• Volunteering at a table for a BADL or tournament game does not count as volunteer time.
• FAILURE TO SHOW UP TO VOLUNTEER FOR YOUR SELECTED VOLUNTEER EVENT WILL RESULT IN A CHARGE OF $100.00.  FAILURE TO PAY THE $100 CHARGE WILL PREVENT YOUR FAMILY FROM REGISTERING IN FUTURE YEARS.

Please call or e-mail me with any questions!

Thank you and Go Birds!
