Quick definitions (no confusion, no surprises)
Team Training → there will be one team in that age group. No trials—just building our style, habits and chemistry.
Team Placement Session → a high-tempo training where coaches place players on teams based on a variety of factors that include commitment, coachability, positional balance and experience, amongst others. We aim to place every child on a team, but we need more volunteers to make that possible.

League format update (Kerry Area Basketball Board)
To keep things competitive and fair this season:
Divisions 1 & 2 stay as full competitive leagues with tables and weekly fixtures.
Division 3 shifts to a player-development model—competitive weekly league games are replaced with tournaments, giving players more reps and meaningful minutes with less pressure.

Volunteers make the Magic
Depth wins. If you can help as a coach, assistant, team manager, table official or game-day helper, you directly increase the number of teams we can field—and ensure every child gets a jersey. Training and support provided.
