SILICON VALLEY NATIONAL JUNIOR BASKETBALL
In Spring League, 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.
