SILICON VALLEY NATIONAL JUNIOR BASKETBALL
There are multiple levels of competition to try and provide competitive games for both advanced/skilled players and new/developing players. We try to separate them so that everyone has a chance to compete against players relatively of the same skill level.
The only way to have multiple competition levels is if there are enough teams/players to do so. For example, if there are 20 5th/6th grade teams and 10 register Level 2, 5 register 5th Level 1, and 5 register 6th Level 1, then there would be enough to have multiple competition levels. If 19 teams register level 2 and only 1 register Level 1 then the levels may be combined or adjusted by the league.
To balance competition and enhance gameplay, the league has the right to move players and/or teams between levels (and/or divisions if necessary). This especially applies to Free Agents. If after the Free Agent player evaluations, coaches or staff feel a player has registered in the incorrect level, a move up/down may be made to better suit the players skill level.
In regards to teams, teams may be moved up/down a competition level to attempt to have teams play against similar teams to create more competitive games.
Level 1 is the highest competition level designated for advanced/skilled teams and players. Example of Level 1 players would be All-Net players, skilled Divisional All-Stars, players on/from competitive AAU teams, school teams, etc.

PRACTICE GYM RENTAL FEES
Parents/Players please be advised that additional costs may be incurred if your team plans to practice inside a gym. Unlike winter league, gym rental fees are not included within the league registration price. Not all teams choose to practice inside. During spring league, it is the responsibility of the coach/team to obtain gym space for practices. Very limited gym space will be made available by the league for teams to rent.
FOR TEAMS INTERESTED IN RENTING A GYM ON THEIR OWN:
Proof of insurance is available through the league for any team that finds a school/gym that requires it. If proof of insurance is needed, please fill out the insurance request form linked at bottom of the page.
For individual players looking to join a team. Free Agents are players that are not on a pre-existing team.
Not on a team? Register as a free agent for a chance to be placed onto a team. Free agents are placed onto teams in need of players or if coaches or parents become available to coach, we can create free agent teams.
Wait for team placement
You will be notified via email if when placed onto a team. We are only able to place players onto teams based on the number of free agent coaches available or the number of spots made available on pre-form teams. If you or someone you know is interested in coaching, contact us @
