General Information

Volunteer: These teams are run by parent volunteers or TNBA Staff (17 years of age or older). Please support your coaches as they have volunteered their time for the season. If you wish to help out a team next season, please let your TNBA Staff know. We would love to have you be a part of our league.

Refunds: A parent may request a refund in writing from the league administrators prior to the start of the first game. No refunds will be issued once the first game of the season has started.

Coach Eligibility: If the National Basketball Academy Staff determines that a coach is not reasonably able to uphold his/her coach’s obligations, the coach may be replaced during the season and any additional action taken that is deemed necessary.

Food/Drink: No smoking, food, or drink (including water) is permitted on the gym floor at any time.

Spectators: must be seated in designated areas. Only players properly registered may be on the court. Parents may not stand on the edge of the court unless they are a designated coach on the coaching sideline.

Behavior: Any aggressive behavior by a parent/spectator/coach/player toward any member of the staff or any other participant will not be tolerated. That person will be immediately ejected from the gym and will not be allowed future access to the gym. Coaches are responsible for maintaining good sportsmanship with their team, fans and parents.
