How are teams formed?

For Kindergarten, 1st&2nd grades the league will form each team based on returning players/returning teams and team/friend requests. For 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, and 7th/8th, the league does not assign players to a team unless they played on that team in the prior season. Each player new to the league or those that wish not to return to their previous team will attend a brief evaluation process and coaches will draft those players onto their team on the date teams are formed. All players will be placed on a team regardless if they attend an evaluation session.

What if I'm a new coach/new team?

If you are a coach that wants to start a new team and are coaching a Kindergarten, 1st/2nd grade team, you are able to pick your full team's roster. If you are coaching a team in 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, & 7th/8th grade, you are allowed to start off a new team with up to a maximum of 4 players of your choosing. The rest of your team will be filled via our draft process and will consist of those players that attend an evaluation session. Those players that do not attend an evaluation session will be placed on a team via a blind pick by the coach.

When are games played and when are practices held?

Games are played on Saturday mornings/afternoons. Practices dates and times will vary depending on the specific coach. The coach will be assign a practice time and location by the league. Times will be weekday evenings, and the location will at a Wylie ISD campus.

Kindergarten & 1st/2nd Team Requests and Friend Requests are honored provided there is room on the roster. If a player registers and requests to play on a specific team, the WBL will first determine if the player had played on that team the previous winter basketball season. If the player played on that team the previous season,  they will be placed on the roster.  If there are still openings on the roster, the league will assign the remainder of the roster by friend requests, team requests, and finally players with no team preference.

3rd/4th, 5th/6th, 7th/8th

If a player registers and requests to play on a specific team, we will first determine if that player has played on that team in either of the two previous winter seasons. If the player did play on that team in the previous season, they will be placed on the roster. If not, they will be placed in a draft. 

For Coaches

If there are still openings on a roster, the remaining players will be picked up in the draft. For example, if you have a total of 6 returning players on your roster,  you will not have a pick in the draft until the 7th round. 

If you are a new team to the league (i.e. you and your child starting a new team), you can begin a team with a maximum of 4 players. ****You and your players MUST notify the league in order to form a new team prior to the draft to ensure those players will not be drafted. The league WILL NOT honor forming a team if they are not notified prior to the draft.
