****Following player evaluations, players can be sent down a division based on skill. Players in the D-League Division must be able to dribble consistently without traveling or double dribbling as well as shoot from the free-throw line comfortably on a 10' hoop. If a player is unable to display these characteristics, he or she is subject to be sent down a division for developmental purposes.****

****All buddy requests made are not guaranteed to be accommodated. Parents asking for 3+ buddies where each are rated as advanced in skill or based on skill where one buddy is advanced and the other is more beginner therefore separated by skill/ division are instances where we may be unable to accommodate. There are other circumstances but these are the most common.****
