WACYL Basketball
WACYL Basketball is a co-ed recreational program, available to children ages 5 through 8th grade, which focuses on skill development, team building and a healthy competitive spirit. Our season will run from January through early March, tentatively. Exact dates will be released once finalized. Practice and Game schedules are based on volunteer availability, therefore schedules are created after registration is complete. However, there will be no weekend practices or games. Registration is $55 per player.
BASKETBALL REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR THE SEASON.

Coaches Needed
Community volunteers are essential to our programs and will be needed. Please consider if you are willing to volunteer as a Coach or Assistant Coach for any of these divisions. No experience is necessary. WACYL will provide NYSCA Training and Certification. Background Check required. Please visit our Coaching Requirements tab for more information. Thank you!
If you cannot make every practice/game, please register as a volunteer anyway, as we could always use the extra help.
We look forward to seeing both familiar and new faces!
Communicating In-Season - Mandatory App Download
Once rosters are completed, WACYL uses the Game Changer Team Manager App for communication between coaches and parents during sports seasons. Below is the page that links both IOS or Android. This can also be accessed through Blue Sombrero in the Team Central - Team Directory section. You can sign in using your Sports Connect credentials.
Download the App
Once the App is open select the parent/player option
Click on the + button and import team using Sports Connect.
It should now show your entire team. You can message or email your team through the App. All messages will show in a group thread or you can message individually if needed.
For further assistance with registration, volunteering or our Game Changer App, please email our Basketball Sports Coordinator, Kortney Lund, at kortneylund@wacyl.com.
Sponsors Needed
WACYL welcomes local businesses to sponsor our teams each season. One sponsor is needed per team. This presents an awesome opportunity to support our local community, ensure funding to provide these programs to our youth as well as advertise your business through our programs. If you would like to sponsor one of our teams, we will proudly print your business name on a team's shirts. Sponsorships are $150 per team. Please contact Jim Phelan at jimphelan@wacyl.com for questions or to pledge a sponsorship. For more information and to view our most recent sponsors, please visit our WACYL Team Sponsorship tab.
