Recreational Basketball FAQs: 4th Grade and Up
How do I know if my child got into Basketball? Are we registered? Registration is available online and over the phone at PRD. At the time of enrollment, an email confirmation is sent via ACTIVE Net, complete with payment information. Payment is not collected if your child has been waitlisted. Please note the receipt is a summary, for complete info, scroll to the bottom of the email and click on the first link for details. When will I receive league information such as team rosters, practice schedules, game schedules? Rosters, Schedules and Team Information are announced, via Team Snap, mid-November. If families are NEW to Team Snap, please look for invitation requests via email and ACCEPT requests to be able to view team info, schedules and communications. I have not received a notification since registration? Have I missed an announcement? Please make sure your ACTIVE Net account, including email information, is up to date! Please note: Emails populate based on participant, while a parent’s email may be up to date, please take a moment to check that your child’s is updated, as this does not occur automatically. I heard there is an evaluation… when are the dates? Yes, there is a mandatory evaluation for all players Grades 4 and up. Please look for an email reminder, via ACTIVE Net, that indicates your child’s evaluation date/time. We strongly encourage that you attend the ORIGINAL evaluation date and only attend the make-up as a last resort. If you are not able to make either evaluation date, please email prdsports@piedmont.ca.gov as soon as possible. When does practice begin? How long is the season? Practice begins the week of December 9 and runs through February 14, 2020 (practices are not held during Winter or February Breaks). Practice is one day a week (60 minutes), between 4:00 - 8:00pm. Games are held on Sundays, January 11 – March 1 (60 minutes) between 11:00am – 7:00pm. I can no longer attend… how do I withdraw? Online withdrawal is not currently available, families must contact the Recreation Department directly to withdraw from the season. Email: prd@piedmont.ca.gov or Phone: (510) 420-3070. My child is on a waitlist, when will I know if we can join? What are the chances of getting in? As openings occur, PRD staff will contact families from the waitlist. As gym availability is very limited, we will not be expanding current teams or adding new teams, and will only enroll participants from the waitlist as space becomes available. I have placed a friend request. How will I know if my child is placed with their friend request? For younger teams, PRD Staff does THEIR BEST to place participants with ONE friend. However, due to individual family availabilities, a request may not be possible to coordinate. I am interested in coaching, who do I contact During online enrollment, there is a custom question that addresses coaching. If you missed this question, or changed your mind about being a coach, please contact Recreation Coordinator, Steven Chavarria, at schavarria@piedmont.ca.gov . I have more questions. Who do I contact? For general basketball questions, please contact us via email at prdsports@piedmont.ca.gov
