Spring League – Week 6 Update – End of Season

There have been a few changes to the schedule which were finalized today, May 17th. These changes were made to allow coaches that are coaching multiple teams to attend their games as we were unable to predict where each team would end up in the bracket after the 1st round of play. Please double check your brackets!

Youth League: Some divisions end May 21st while others on June 4th. Please make sure to check the brackets to make sure you know when and were your games will be. Multiple divisions have double headers so it is important to follow your bracket fully.

Rookie League: All teams ends June 4th.

Lamppost Pizza Party Coupons: Coaches for all divisions should make sure to collect your team’s Lamppost Pizza Party Coupon at the scoretable after your first game on May 21st.

2023 Spring League – Rookie League Format and What to Bring

There have been a few questions about the Rookie League and we wanted to provide some clarification.

Each week your team has a 90 minute time slot. Your teams Practice/Clinic starts promptly at the specific time on the schedule. Each player should try to arrive 10-15 minutes early so that our staff or your coach can start their practice on time.

Each teams game start time is roughly 30 minutes later. As an example if your team is scheduled at 11a you would have a practice/clinic from 11a – 11:30a followed immediately by a game.

All coaches are highly encouraged to participate in the SoCal Elite Staff led clinic for Week 1. We will always offer a clinic though teams may opt out.

What to bring:
1. SoCal Elite Reversible Jersey – The schedule reads as “Away” (Black) at “Home” (White). This means the team on top should arrive wearing black and the bottom team white
2. Basketball – Each player should bring their own pumped up basketball 27.5.” We do not have extra balls at locations.
3. Water

If you bring snacks please refrain from handing them out inside the gym.
