Kids, Give It a Shot

Recreational player registration for the Broken Arrow Youth Basketball Association runs through October 10, 2014, while space is available.

The Broken Arrow Youth Basketball Association serves the City of Broken Arrow and Broken Arrow Schools. “We are gearing up now for all the exciting action of the 2014-2015 season,” said Sean Dolan, the organization’s president. Both boys and girls teams will hit the hardwood through two leagues, recreational and select (competitive), beginning this December. “Broken Arrow is a participating member of the Indian Nations Basketball Conference,” says Dolan. “This association was designed to provide a playing season running from December 6, 2014 to March 1, 2015. Post-season playoffs are scheduled for Championship Saturday, February 28, 2015.” Boys teams and girls teams (not
co-ed) consisting of 1st through 8th graders will begin team practice sessions the first week of November.
Recreational league rules state that each player on a team will receive playing time in each game. Select or competitive league teams play at a higher level, and rules do not require that each player has playing time in each game. Some of the clubs Broken
Arrow teams will be c
ompeting against include Sand Springs, Coweta, Metro Christian, Bartlesville, Jenks, Owasso, Claremore, Liberty, Bixby, Berryhill and Tulsa,
as well as other Broken
Arrow teams.
Youth who wish to participate in the recreational leagues may register now through October 10, 2014, while space is available. Youth residing in the Broken Arrow City Limits or attending a Broken Arrow School are eligible. Area 8th graders trying out for their school’s team must register during normal registration to guarantee availability. Eligibility is subject to verification.
Sean Dolan graduated from Broken Arrow High School. In addition to serving as president of the Broken Arrow Youth Basketball Association, he serves as a board member of the Indian Nations Basketball Conference. Mr. Dolan is also the Associate Athletic Director for Development at Oral Roberts University.  
“Last year Broken Arrow had 72 registered teams, the most we’ve had since joining the Indian Nations Basketball Association,” said Dolan. “This year we’re expecting at least that many or possibly more, depending on how many new players sign up to participate in the program.”
