NBN participants will include both boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 18 years old.

Our intent is to have both a boys and a girls league, however, if we don’t have enough signed up to do a separate girls league, the league will be co-ed. The age group that your child will be eligible to play in for the SPRING league is based on his or her age as of March 15th. The age group that your child will be eligible to play in for the FALL league is based on his or her age as of August 15th. If you as a parent would like to request that your child play up one level and as long as NBN feels that it’s in the best interest of that player, we will try our best to accommodate your request.

However, for obvious reasons we will NOT allow an older child to play down in age.

All kids that sign up will be required to participate in a pre-determined skills day, which will be held prior to the start of the season.

At skills day, the kids will be run through a variety of fundamental drills, which will allow each coach the opportunity to assess each kids skill level.

Once all players have been rated, the coach’s ratings will be combined to come up with an overall skills rating.

NBN teams will be formed by an official “draft” process which will allow the coaches to pick their teams in order by skill level which will in turn allow those teams to be split as even as possible. This process is done for each age group.
