Draft Procedures

Head coaches will draw numbers to determine draft order.

Draft will start from the lowest number drawn to highest, reverse, and go back from highest to lowest until all children are chosen in that age group.

Players will be drafted in age groups, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest.

5\6 year old division will draft boys and girls separately to ensure even distribution

Coach's son(s) daughter(s) will be automatic picks and be the last round pick in the age group. If coach has two children on same team, one will be first pick and one will be last pick in their respective age groups.

Assistant coach may not be declared until after draft.

Brothers & sisters may be drafted together upon parent request and will be considered the next 2 draft picks.

Teams will draft in order until all players have been drafted.  Teams will not exceed 8 players. Ideal team size will be 7 players. President and/or Vice President retain the right to set the limit of team members.

New players coming in after the draft will go to the team with the least amount of players. In the event that all teams are equal, then the new player will go to the team that was next in line to draft.

Trades will be permitted for a brief period after the draft, as long as all coaches and at least one board member are aware and agree of the trade or trades.

Any deviation from these rules must be agreed upon by all coaches in that division and approved by a Board member at the time of the draft.

Guidelines for the use of CISD for practices

Central ISD Guidelines for CYBA to use gyms for practices:

Clean up (trash, balls, etc.)

Sweep gym floor (if you have the last scheduled practice)

Gym lights out at 9pm.

Keep children from playing in the restrooms, locker rooms & down the halls of all gyms.

Make sure goals are put back to 10ft. If the team scheduled behind you is not on the court ready to practice as your team is leaving, reset the goals to 10ft.  

If you have the first scheduled practice of the day at the Elementary gym, it is imperative that you are there 10-15 minutes early.  The custodians leave around 5:45 and if no one is there by that time, we may be locked out.

As a coach and parent it is our responsibility to go by these guidelines, so it will be possible to always use the gyms of CYBA.

*** If these guidelines are not met at anytime by a coach, that coach may lose all privileges to schedule practices at CISD for the remainder of the season.
