2025-26 House League Sort Out Schedules

Sort Outs provide our convenors and coaches the opportunity to assess a player's level of play and skill development, in order to help us to form balanced teams.  The key to a great league that provides players the development they need and environment that to develop their confidence on the court and have fun is in having close competition in games.  Ensuring our teams within a division are balanced is therefore instrumental in this, so we do ask all players to please attend their division sort outs.

Following sort outs our team of volunteers will work to form balanced teams and communicate team schedule details to players. Please ensure your family is opted in to receive emails from KYBA and has KYBA marked as a safe sender, to ensure you receive these important email messages!

Players will begin regular practices following team formation (week of October 6 or 13), and will also have the opportunity to play in some weekend exhibition games on October 18/19 and 25/26.  These games provide another tool in assessing team balancing, before official league games begin. 
Exhibition games also provide an opportunity for players and coaches to get to know each other and get in some in-game practice and learning before the official league begins on November 1-2.  Exhibition games are low-key, fun scrimmages with no official scorekeeping (although there will be jr officials training at the table and on the floor during the exhibition scrimmages).  KYBA provides scorekeepers and officials for all of our official house league games, so parents can watch and enjoy the games!  Once again - exhibition games are used to run scorekeeper and floor officials training so players, coaches and families are all reminded - exhibition games are just practice, fun, games where everyone is learning:)

*There can be some player movement between teams during the month of October, if needed, to improve team balancing.* 
*KYBA reserves the right to move players between teams following the first official game of the league in order to improve team balancing; a player may not refuse any trades between teams.* 

Note that our Atom and Bantam Girls will play in an interlock league with other associations.  Game schedules for these divisions are not done by KYBA.  KYBA will still provide these divisions the same sort out and exhibition game opportunities before their official game schedules begin.  KYBA will be once again hosting the High School Girls interlock league.
