ABOUT BDL

BDL is a co-ed basketball league. Players are grouped according to their ages and/or abilities. The league has four divisions: Future Stars, Rookies, Juniors & Seniors, and Adults. The guidelines for each division are summarized below. These are just general guidelines. Players can be moved up or down the divisions at a coach's discretion.

The Rookies division is for players who are aged 9-14 or are moved up from Future Stars C, depending on their abilities. Rookies continue to develop the fundamentals of basketball and are taught new/more difficult skills. Currently, players are assigned to permanent teams for the season and play in games each weekend.

The Adult division is comprised of players ages 18+. The division is split into Adult Silver, Adult Gold, and Adult Diamond, with Adult Silver being family-friendly and Adult Diamond being the most physical and competitive. Teams are assembled by a team captain, who submits a roster to the league. Similar to the Junior and Senior divisions, all the teams compete in a playoff tournament to determine the league champions.

The Future Stars division is for the youngest players (aged 5 to 8) or players new to basketball. The coaches introduce and help players develop the fundamental skills of basketball. The players are split into 3 subdivisions (A, B, and C) depending on age and ability. The players will be moved up through the subdivisions and eventually into the next division as the players develop their skillset.
