Registration is now open for the 2017 NBBL Community basketball season. We have leagues for boys and girls ages PK through Grade 12. But registration will close on Friday, February 24th so please register now. Once teams are formed, it highly unlikely new players will be permitted to register.
The fee is THB 3,600 for all players. Players do NOT need to be ISB students but all games and practices take place at ISB. This fee will cover costs for a player jersey, Top Flight Academy clinics, referee and scorekeeper fees, ISB fees and photography expenses.
League assessments will take place on Sunday, February 26th at ISB gyms. The league assessments will begin at 12:00pm and finish by4:00pm. An exact schedule will be sent to all registered players and their parents.
Team practices will begin the week starting March 6th. League play will take place on Saturdays and begin on March 11th. Games will continue every Saturday (except for Songkran break) and conclude the weekend of May 19th/20th with league championships.
We will again use Top Flight Academy for weekly clinics for all leagues. The clinics will be scheduled once we see how many players register but the clinics will likely take place on Tuesday and/or Thursday after 5:15p. Some coaches may also choose to hold a weekly team practice.
We will need many parents to help out as coaches in order for the league to function. Parents only need to coach the teams atSaturday games since we have Top Flight running weekday practices. But if we don’t have enough parent volunteers for a league we will not be able to offer basketball for that particular age group. So we strongly encourage all parents to sign up to help coach.
Payment for the NBBL season can be made at the ISB Community Activity Office (CAO) which is located next to the bookstore at ISB. The CAO is open from 7:00 to 11:00AM and 12:00 to 3:30PM Monday – Friday.
