PRACTICES/GAMES:
Kindergarten - The Kindergarten program will be a 60 minute session held on Saturday mornings. It will be split between a practice time and a game time. As the season progresses, more focus will be on game time to prepare them for when they move up. There will be no weeknight practices for the Kindergarten level.
1st/2nd Grade Rec - The 1st and 2nd Grade rec program will include one 60 minute practice per week. It will also include a 1 hour game on Saturdays. Location and time will be dependent upon Gym Availability. A second practice is possible depending on gym availability.
3rd/4th Grade through 9th-12th Grade Rec - Each of the rec teams in these levels will hold two 1-hour practices on weeknights. Games will be held on Saturdays (likely starting in December and ending late February or early March). For 3rd and 4th grade through 7th and 8th grade and up, all games will be held at East Pennsboro Middle School or West Creek Hills Elementary (or possibly Lower Dauphin for 7th/8th grade). For 3rd through 6th grade, games will be held at East Pennsboro Middle School or locations in Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Lower Dauphin and Dillsburg.
Travel Teams - All travel teams will have at least two practices during the week. We are also hoping to allow for at least 90 minutes for each practice for travel teams. There will be a regular season schedule where they play other travel teams from the area and those games will be held at locations to be determined by the Travel League. We also look at possible travel tournaments to enter the travel teams in and work with the individual coaches of each team on those opportunities.

VOLUNTEER DEPOSIT CHECKS:
A check in the amount of $60.00 is required once your child is signed up. You MUST submit a check made payable to EPYAL In order to earn your check back, you are required to volunteer for one 2-hour time slot during the season to help out with one of various items such as running the clock/scoreboard, assisting with the fundraiser, assisting with the concession stand (if we are able to have one) or possible other opportunities. (If a parent is coaching - head or assistant - they are exempt from needing to turn in a volunteer deposit check).
Checks MUST be turned in by the first week of practice. You can contact the basketball directors to arrange a time to drop it off prior to then also. If you know that you do not want to volunteer and want to add that to your fees while signing your child(ren) up, there is an option during the registration to add that.
R&K FUNDRAISER:
We require all families partake in the R&K fundraiser or complete the buyout. We ask that each family sell at least 20 items (if you have more than one child playing, the 20 items is per family, not per child). The fundraiser is a big part of allowing us to keep the registration costs for the program down. If participation in the fundraiser is not attained, it will require us to have significant increases in costs going forward. For those that do not want to participate in the fundraiser, we offer a buyout option in the amount of $60.00. For those that participate in the fundraiser, any amount of items under the 20 - you would need to pay 3 dollars per item.
