NPSC's winter basketball season will run from December - February. 
Teams will practice 3 weeks before the first game. Practices will be 1 hour a week at locations throughout Fauquier County. 
Games will be played Saturday's at different locations throughout Fauquier County

Scores will need to be kept for teams with players 9+ y/o. Scoresheets can be found [HERE] and information on how to put scores in can be found at the Recreational Coaches Corner [HERE].

NPSC will use a draft to place players onto teams. All players in the 9+ age group must attend evaluations so Coaches can have the best information to draft teams. 
If a player is unable to attend the draft, they will be hat picked onto teams.

The 5-8 age groups will not be drafted, they will be assigned to teams.  NPSC is not taking coach/teammate requests for any age group.  

Players in the 9+ age group at evaluations players will be assigned a number. They will be required to wear this number for the entire evaluation. Coaches can be in the evaluation to watch. NPSC will have a neutral party running evaluations.
