REGISTRATION DEADLINE NOW IN EFFECT

Please take note of the registration deadline of Tuesday, January 12th, 2010. Prior to this deadline, all registrants are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis; the closer to November 10th that you get your registration in, the better your chances are of making it into the league of your choice. After January 12th, if we require registrants, we will advertise any spots that are available.

General Description

Hoop it up this season in a CSSC Basketball league. Put your jump shot, lay-up and defensive skills into use on the hard court. It’s a 5 on 5 game, with a minimum of two females on the floor at all times. We offer Recreational, Recreational Plus and Intermediate divisions. All games have a Coordinator present but you are expected to call your own fouls and be responsible for your own play. We encourage you to play with a ‘fun-first’ attitude at our various medium and large sized gyms at schools located throughout the city. After your game, meet-up with your teammates and other CSSC players while enjoying exclusive specials at one of our many Sponsor Bars around Calgary.

Who Can Play?

Adults aged 18 and older may join any of our Basketball leagues. The levels offered this Winter include Recreational, Recreational Plus, and Intermediate. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 or more players but not a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations. Small group, friends and individual registrations are combined with other similar registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration of the season. Click here for more info.

BASKETBALL DIVISION DESCRIPTIONS

Level

                                                      
                                                       Description

Recreational

Never played? Just started playing? Teams who register for this level should, as a whole be inexperienced. If you have more than two players who played high school level basketball on your team do not register for Rec.

Recreational Plus

If you've played at the Rec level for 2 or more seasons and finished in the top half of the standings then this is a great league for you. A team who has an even mix of beginner, novice and experienced players should play here.

Intermediate

If you would say that 75% of your teammates played on their high school team or beyond, you should play here, or even if your team may not have the 'paper' credentials, but you just know the team is good, this is the league for you!

The above divisions are created based on skill level and not on competitive behaviour. All SSC players are expected to play with a ‘fun-first, winning second’ attitude. The SSC may move your team up or down a division based on seasonal results.
