Frequently Asked Questions
May I request a specific coach for my child?
The LYBL does not accept individual requests for team placement. Our league serves over 400 students and it is simply not feasible for our league directors to fulfill individual requests for placement on a specific team or with a specific coach.
How often will my child practice or play?
Each team will be afforded one 45 minute practice time per week, on Thursday evenings. A team's coach may elect to practice more frequently or on another day, but any practice time outside of our arranged practice blocks must be made between the coach and a third party. The 1st and 2nd grade divisions will play one game per week for 6 weeks, beginning the first weekend of January. The 3rd and 4th grade and 5th and 6th grade boys and girls will play 5 weeks and then finish the year with an end-of-season tournament the second weekend in February.
What should my child wear to games?
Each child will be issued a team jersey to be worn on game days throughout the season. Participants can wear the athletic shorts and shoes of their choice.
