The Principles of the Rockville Centre Over 40
League are Sportsmanship and Camaraderie. While the League is designed
to be competitive, each player is expected to abide by and demonstrate
these Principles. Basketball experience in the League ranges from players with no organized play to High School varsity experience and up to college team play. The League is open to residents of Rockville Centre who will be at least 40 years of age as of January 1 for the season the player is registering for. A drivers license is required as proof of age and residency. Registration is held in the Recreation Center in the Fall. The season generally runs from early January to the end of March–early April. Games are held at the Recreation Center on Sunday evenings and at South Side Middle School on Thursday evenings. The League consists of a number of teams determined by gym availability and enrollment. Ten players are assigned to each team. If enrollment exceeds the number of available spots, new players are put into a blind lottery from which names are drawn. New players who do not get assigned to a team initially are placed on a Waiting List. These players are then assigned to teams during the season as space becomes available. All players play at least half a game. The games are officiated by qualified high school referees. |
