Answers to most asked questions:

1.  When does the season start?
We plan on starting the season January 10

2.  Does NJB interfere with school sports?
No, NJB games are on Sunday afternoons and practices are one hour per week.

3.  Can eighth graders play who are playing on school teams?
Eight graders who are on a school team during NJB cannot participate until their school team has finished their season.  MSHSAA rules do not allow them to participate in two sports at the same time.

4.  What is the ALL-NET team about?
ALL-NET is a NJB version of AAU and is for very competitive athletes.  Our NJB ALL-NET teams will play against higher competition and will travel to tournaments.

5.   Tell me about the parent participation?
We could not run this league without the help of volunteers and in the past, parents have helped us by volunteering with coaching, at the concession stand, with our scorebooks and as team parents.  We ask each parent to volunteer 4 hours during the season which can be done by doing one hour of concession work before your child plays their games.  The team parent usually coordinates a schedule for the parents.
