League Notes and Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible to play for the CDABA?
Any child from 3rd grade thru 12th grade (boys) and 3rd grade thru 8th grade (Girls) residing within the Central Dauphin School District. They may be attending public or private schools, or may be home-schooled. Children who play for a school sponsored basketball teams (7th-12th grade) are ineligible.
What are the fees?
For 2023-24, the fee for all participants will #125 per player. There will be discounts for players within the same family
What does the CDABA do with this money?
The two largest expenses for the league are the PIAA referee fees and rental to the school district for the use of the gyms for games and practices. These are followed closely by insurance and the purchase of game shirts. Miscellaneous expenses also include our website hosting, replacement basketballs and medical supplies for the first aid kits. Recently, due to the lack of volunteerism, we have had to starting paying game managers as well.
We are always looking for corporate sponsors.
My child will be trying out for the school team, but may not make it. Can I register him/her so they can play basketball in case they get cut?
Yes. Please see the CDABA Policies and Procedures Manual in the “Doc & Forms” section for our refund information.
When is your season?
Teams are picked in November (specific dates depending on age group). The regular season will end in late February, with playoffs concluding in early March.
