NOTE: There will be NO Skills sessions this week. Please keep an eye out for an Elevate email for a potential last session next week!
Purpose
Our goal is to ensure every scheduled game can be played while providing a fun, competitive, and positive experience for all participants. The Bring a Friend Policy allows teams to temporarily add players when they are short-handed due to illness, vacations, or other unavoidable absences.
Eligibility
Teams may use a Bring a Friend player only if they are unable to field the minimum number of players required to participate in games.
The friend must be within the appropriate age division or receive approval from the League Director before participating.
Players currently rostered on another team within the same division may not be used as a Bring a Friend player unless approved by league staff.
Approval Process
Teams must notify league staff before the game whenever possible.
Staff may suggest an available player if a team cannot find one.
Participation Rules
Bring a Friend players are considered temporary substitutes for that game only.
Substitute players may participate in multiple games throughout the season for different teams only with league approval.
Teams may not recruit substitute players to gain a competitive advantage.
Competitive Integrity
The purpose of this policy is to allow games to proceed-not to strengthen a team's
roster.
League staff may limit playing time or deny the use of a substitute if it is determined that the player creates an unfair competitive advantage.
Repeated use of substitute players may result in the league requiring roster adjustments or additional review.
Sportsmanship
We encourage families and athletes to help one another so every team has the opportunity to play. The success of our league depends on creating an environment where participation, development, and respect come first.
League staff reserve the right to interpret and enforce this policy in the best interest of the league and all participants.

What used to be a simple half-court pickup game has now become an officially recognized FIBA sport. 3x3 basketball creates more touches, more movement, and more opportunities for player development.
More touches. Players get significantly more opportunities with the ball compared to traditional 5v5 basketball.
Everyone develops guard skills. Players learn to handle the ball, make decisions quickly, and play with pace.
Defensive development. Players improve help-side defence, ball containment, and communication.
Offensive movement. Concepts like pass-and-cut, screening, spacing, and drive-and-dish are emphasized constantly.
Speed & quickness. Faster pace means more reps, more engagement, and more growth opportunities.
We know summer schedules can be busy. Families can notify us of vacations or scheduling conflicts in advance, and our substitution policy helps ensure players don’t miss out while teams remain competitive.
