About the League:

For all levels of player, the 4v4 League offers fun, competition and a chance to put all the skills you’ve worked on into action. Weekly games allow players the opportunity to get a great workout in, fine-tune their skills, and compete with or against their friends. Players are with one team the whole season, allowing them to build relationships and cohesion.

Teams:

All players will be registering to the grade appropriate player-pool. Players are able to request as many players to be placed with, as long as the request is MUTUAL. We will do our best to honor as many requests as possible. Our goal is to create all teams in-house to ensure competitive balance among all divisions. We believe this will result in a more positive experience for all players and an overall better league atmosphere. Teams will have up to seven (7) players, unless a team mutually requests more players.

Divisions:

Divisions are separated by grade level and by ability. Please place your child in the league that will be most beneficial for their development. (Example: more-experienced 7th grade players should play on Wednesdays, as opposed to on Thursdays). Our goal is for competitive games that result in learning valuable lessons; no one benefits when a team consistently wins/loses by a wide margin.

Game Times at Fastbreak: 6:05 PM | 6:55 PM | 7:50 PM

Game Times at Off-Site Locations: 6:25 PM | 7:20 PM

UNIFORM All players will be given a team jersey. Players must bring their jersey each week. Their assigned number will help the player’s stats be accurate throughout the season. If a player does not bring his jersey, he will be given a reversible pinnie, and the opposing team will be rewarded a point to start the game. If the jersey is lost/misplaced, please contact teamfastbreak@fastbreakkids.com and we can provide a new one for a fee. FOOTWEAR/ATTIRE All players should come in newer athletic sneakers or basketball shoes. We recommend players wear high-tops to prevent any ankle injuries when landing. Program attire is athletic shorts with team jersey. WATER/GATORADE There are water bottle fillers at the facility, so be sure to send adequate water/sports drink bottle(s) with your child. WEBSITE UPDATES Please bookmark/save the 55 Swish website to easily access the schedule, standings, league info and rules, and more. CANCELLATIONS All families will be notified by email immediately if the program is canceled for any reason. If we cancel the program, our goal is schedule a make-up game with a double-header or by extending the season. Please be aware that we have families from public, private, and religious schools, which all use different academic calendars. We understand that our scheduling may not always be ideal, but we try to do our best to make it work for all families. In the rare case that we cannot schedule a make-up game, we will give an account credit for the missed game.
