SEE CURRENT REGISTRATION OPTIONS BELOW

BLUE CHIP BALLERS 
DEVELOPMENTAL ACADEMY
Ages 12 & Under (Typically 1st-6th Grade)
New & Developing CoEd Players
 
This is a popular fundamental development program for young & developing players that has been in place for several years. It is designed to prepare players for future 5v5 competitive team play.

The size of this program has grown to the point that the new process will be:

New players are evaluated at the first practice and moved into a specific academy session based on their skill and experience in the academy.

Then evaluation will be continuous for all players during and thru subsequent seasons so players will move up or down to training sessions based on what is best for their developmental progress.

These academy sessions will be one night a week in the Patriot Oaks Academy Gym  and then Saturday mornings the players play 3v3/4v4 guided OR 5v5 professionally refereed games based on their evaluation.

If you have a young player who has already developed enough skill to play competitive 5v5 register them to play in our full court competitive division "4-12th Grade (Volunteer Coach Outdoor Practice)"

5-12 Grade
Volunteer Coach - Outdoor Practice Registration
Games in Middle School or High School Gyms
Same referees that officiate MS & HS games. No Volunteer refs.

This is the default registration for individual players looking for team placement
or for players on a Blue Chip preformed team with volunteer coach.
(players on a preformed team make sure to answer yes when asked if you are on a preformed team and then enter your coach's name.)

Historically there have been 12-18 HS Teams and 4-8 team divisions across 2 grades (i.e. 5/6th 7/8th 9/10th, 11/12th) Sometimes 7/8th is too large so we sometimes create a swing division. High School Teams are not strictly grade based they are placed in JV/Varsity based on overall team skill. Some JV teams may have 17 & 18 yr olds.

This registration cost covers games only
 Practice days/times & locations are solely based on the volunteer coach's discretion. Some coaches may hold one 1 hour practice a week and another might schedule 2 or more. Based on weather and court availability you may just have games. If more consistent gym practice and/or a staff coach is something you are looking for make sure to answer YES in your registration questions, so if we have coach/gym availability you may have upgrade options that we might offer. 

THIS IS NOT PAY TO PLAY
We request coaches give a minimum playing time per player of at least 5 minutes per half, but Coaches have sole discretion on a players playing time. If for some reason you don't like the coach you are assigned to for your first season make sure to take note of other coaches during the season and then request to play for them in subsequent seasons.

If you/your player wants to play 5v5 full court basketball but:
Needs a guarantee of minimum playing time
Cant handle emotions that come with winning or losing (sometimes by wide margins)
Are not flexible with changing practice schedules due to weather (for outdoor registration)
Then Blue Chip is probably not for you, there are plenty other great programs available like Upward, YMCA, I9 etc etc

THE EVALUATION PROCESS
Individual players looking for teams will attend a filmed evaluation and coaches looking for players will draft from our private online draft board.

If a player is not placed on a team then the registration & uniform costs will be refunded. After first game starts there are no refunds.

GIRLS BASKETBALL
 
For the past year Blue Chip has been developing a girls program. Currently there is
a 4-6th & 7-10th grade group who train weekly in the gym with the Blue Chip IDP (Intense Development Program)

Intermediate to advanced players boys/girls looking to be placed on these BC IDP teams with
a paid staff coach and practice in a gym should schedule an evaluation/tryout here:
TRYOUT

To continue to grow girls basketball in our community
we are ALSO continuing to offer our normal
Jr NBA volunteer coach/outdoor registration to girls
on a WAITLIST

This registration below covers games only, assigned to a volunteer coach, who has sole discretion over practice. 

If there are not enough players or coaches to form at least a 4 team girls division then the waitlists will be cancelled and your card will not be charged.

We may offer waitlist registered players the opportunity to evaluate and enter our BC IDP teams if any spots are available.

TEAM REGISTRATION (Non-BlueChip w/your own legal uniforms)
 
Independent competitive teams will be placed in our highest level competitive division and if there are not enough competitive teams in a particular division they will play up. Many of these teams will play their games during the week on weeks that they are attending tournaments.

Teams must have roster of up to 10 players verified and locked by 2nd week of the Jr NBA season
