Wylie Basketball Coaches

Thank you for volunteering to coach in the Wylie Basketball League! Our volunteer coaches are the lifeblood of our organization, and we could do it without you. All coaches and volunteers are required to submit a background check.*Link at the bottom of the page.

Coaches are responsible for ensuring that all players meet 50% mandatory playing time requirements.

A coach who has a dispute over playing time must bring the infraction to the attention of the official and opposing coach in time for it to be resolved during the game. If a team does not notify the scorekeeper, the referee and opposing coach of an apparent violation, there is no basis for a protest.

The clock will stop midway through every quarter (1-4) momentarily for substitutions (not to exceed more than 30 seconds). At this time every player on the bench will sub in, and play for the rest of the quarter.

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. 

Only two coaches or volunteers per team. Once background check is complete and verified, WBL will supply coaching badges. And only coaches with badges will be let on sideline or on benches.
