Winter 2009 Basketball Registration is CLOSED.
Please come out and support our new Tigers this year.




Age Groups Available
Archer Rec. League Basketball divides the athletes by age.  Two or more age groups may be combined to form a league with the decision being based upon a review of the number of registrants each year.  The following leagues will be offered this year:
Boys 5/6             Girls 5/6
Boys 7/8
             Girls 7/8
Boys 9/10        
Girls 9/10
Boys 11/12         Girls 11/12
Boys 13/14         Girls 13/14
Boys 15/18         Girls 15/18
Skill Evaluations
All players in the Rec. Leagues will be placed on a team, it is required that players attend their age group skill evaluation. The goal of the Archer Rec. Leagues is to provide the most balanced and competitive set of teams possible in all leagues. To accomplish that goal, all players must attend and be assessed so that we can evenly distribute players of each skill level across all teams. Players not attending the skill evaluation will  negatively impact the talent and experience mix on their team.

Practices / Games
Teams will typically have an average of 2 practices per week prior to the start of the season. After the season begins, teams will usually have one practice per week.  Note that this is dependent upon the availability of the facilities, the number of teams in each league, school closings, etc.  Also note that the High School age groups will have fewer practices and play more games than the other age groups.

Volunteers
Archers Basketball Program is completely staffed by volunteers. Youth Basketball in the Archer Community will not be possible without you. If you are interested in being a Coach, Assistant Coach, or Age Group Coordinator please fill out a coaches application .  If you would like to be a Team Mom or just offer to help in any way please indicate this when you register your athlete.

GBL
In addition to AAA Basketball, we will also have boys and girls 5th, 6th, and 7th grade teams to represent the Archer Cluster in the Gwinnett Basketball League (GBL).  GBL's mission is "to develop a highly competitive youth basketball program designed specifically to enhance the skills of the most serious minded basketball players. The GBL exists to develop teams with players from the same Gwinnett Public School Clusters, thus developing a program of feeder systems for the High Schools in Gwinnett County.  A major emphasis is to provide the opportunity for the youth to have fun and enjoy basketball while learning proper sports skills and techniques in an atmosphere where good sportsmanship, ethics and competitiveness are stressed."  If you would like additional information on GBL, please visit there website at http://gwinnettbasketball.com.
