All
coaches, players, and parents are required to sign a
code of conduct
in order to participate in NOAH. The basketball season
is culminated by playing in the
National Homeschool Basketball
Tournament.
Over 250 teams from all over the country participate in
March of each year.
It
is the largest basketball tournament (at any level) in
the country.
The
following is a brief overview of our basketball
programs. For complete details, download our Player/Parent
Handbook.
'A' Division:
The A division
competes at the highest level for elementary players.
There are no playing time requirements for each player,
and most of the players are 6th graders. NOAH typically
fields one boys and one girls team in the A division.
Schools in this division typically include teams from
Holland Hall, Victory, Evangelistic Temple, Grace,
Wright, etc.
B Division:
In the B division, there is a playing time requirement
for each player. There will be a mix of 5th and 6th
grade players. NOAH typically fields one girls team and
2 boys teams for the B division. Schools in this
division are similar to those in the A division.
C Division: This is a newer
division that started in the 2003-04 season and is for
boys only. This division will be comprised of the less
skilled players/teams so they can compete on a more
competitive level. This will definitely be a highly
developmental division with required playing time
rules. No 6th graders allowed in this division. NOAH
anticipates that we will field one boys team for this
division.
ECC Tournament:
The top 8 teams in each
division earn the right to play in the post-season
playoffs (March) and see who will be crowned the city
champion.
