Frequently Asked Questions
  • Can I register late?: Registration for players closes November 2, 2025. Late registration is restricted to whether we have teams who are in need of additional players and if we have enough volunteer coaches. Please contact basketball@ctaasports.org.
  • When are games?: Games are held for grades 1-6 and start the first week of January. The schedule will vary for all the teams week to week. Kindergarten doesn't have games, but they do scrimmage the other K team.
  • Where are games played?: Games are played at the schools in Chesterfield, Mansfield, Springfield and North Hanover.
  • When are practices?: Practices typically begin the first week of December. Practices are subject to the availability of your team's volunteer coach and gym space and may vary week to week.
  • Where are practices held?: Practices are held at the Chesterfield Elementary School and at the Field House at Fenton Lane.
  • How are teams selected?: Teams are drafted by our volunteer coaches after the completion of the evaluations in November.
  • Are there playoffs?: Yes. There are playoffs for grades 5-6. The games are typically played in March, though they can start late February. There may be playoffs for grades 3-4, but the NBIAA has not made that determination yet.
  • What if I still have questions.: Please contact basketball@ctaasports.org
  • Can my child play up (not their grade)?: No player can play up without approval from the basketball commissioner. You must email the commissioner (basketball@ctaasports.org) to start the process.
  • What is the process for playing up?: A player will be evaluated for skill level and size (to avoid injury). If the commissioner decides a player is capable of playing up the program numbers will be evaluated to ensure there’s space.
  • Is jewelry permitted?: In general, jewelry and metal are not permitted. It is a safety issue enforced by referees. It's the rule that is applied for the NJSIAA. This means no earrings/necklaces/bracelets (metal, plastic, cloth etc.), no metal braces, no metal hair clips... The only exceptions are for religious reasons.
