LEAGUE FEATURES

  • NO CHAPTERS | OPEN BOUNDARIES

  • NON-TRADITIONAL POST SEASON FORMAT

    MATCH TOP TEAMS vs TOP TEAMS

How Spring League Works

FOR BOYS & GIRLS 3RD - 12TH GRADE

Register as a team

Already have a group of players?  Register as a pre-form team.
Have your coach, team parent, or captain create the team first.  Then all players register to the team created.  If you don't have a minimum of 7 players, let us know.  We will have free agents to help fill rosters (NO TRYOUTS).

Register as an Individual

Not on a team?  Register as a free agent for a chance to be placed onto a team.  Free agents are placed onto teams in need of players or if coaches or parents become available to coach, we can create free agent teams.

Select your uniform status

Already have your own uniforms that abide by the uniform policy? Or does your WHOLE team need uniforms?  For those that order uniforms, you will receive them around the start of the season (make sure to contact the league to ensure we know you need uniforms).

Wait for team placement

You will be notified via email if you were placed onto a team.  For players not placed onto teams, we will have a 3v3 outdoor league as well.  For 3v3, Players are placed onto teams of 3-6 players.  They play 3 30min games each game day on a half court.  3v3 is a fun, fast paced, style of play that also became an Olympic sport.

Wait for team placement

You will be notified via email if/when placed onto a team.  We are only able to place players onto teams based on the number of free agent coaches available or the number of spots made available on pre-form teams.  Only registered and paid plaers will be placed onto teams.  If you or someone you know is interested in coaching, contact us @
svnjb-info@siliconvalleynjb.com

Schedule is released

Once registration closes and all teams have been formed, the schedule will be released by the last Wednesday before the 1st game date.  Everyone registered will be notified via email when the schedule is available.  Games will be played inside gyms primarily in the San Jose / Santa Clara area.

Season begins

Games begin.  Games primarily are played Sundays but there may be some weeks when games are on Saturday due to holiday or lack of gym availability on Sundays.  Teams may also have double headers on 1 day depending on the number of teams in a division and number of games in the season.

Post Season

The last weekend of the season is tournament time.  All teams qualify for the post season tournament.  Depending on number of teams within a division, we try to break up a division to create more competitive games by matching the top teams vs top teams, middle vs middle, and bottom vs bottom (If enough teams to do so).
