Q: Can I get more information about the adult BASKETBALL program?

A: The adult sports Basketball program has 4 seasons annually. The cost is $400 per team. Each game is a $25 cash game fee per team for officiating. Leagues vary between 8-10 regular season games. Playoffs are offered to only the top teams. Leagues play on Tuesdays (40+), Thursdays (open), Fridays (6ft. and under) and Sundays (6'02" and under). League fees include league administration, scorekeeping, standings, statistics and awards. Games are played at Lambert Park Boomer Gym.

Q: How do I register for the adult SOFTBALL or BASKETBALL program?

A: To register, the team manager must fill out an application and pay a $40 deposit to hold a spot in our league. Then, they must attend the mandatory managers' meeting and pay the balance of the fees by the league fee deadline. Rosters also must be submitted by the fee deadline. All teams must meet the experience/competition level of the league by playing in a "classification game". The first official league game will begin a week after the classification games.

Typically, we start a new league every 3 to 3 1/2 months or roughly every 12 to 14 weeks. Applications will be mailed out approximately 4 weeks prior to the start of league. Any names on the computer database will automatically be sent league information and an application via mail. Add your name and address to our mailing list or call and ask to be added on and the league information for the next upcoming season will be automatically mailed to you.

In addition, you may check the City's website for up-coming leagues and download applications by logging on to: www.elmontesports.com, or by calling our sports office at (626) 580-2216.

Q: What happens if I don't have my own team and I want to sign up as an individual player?

A: Rosters are managed and submitted by each team manager. Players looking to join as individuals are encouraged to attend the managers' meeting to try to get placed on a team. The managers' meeting is scheduled two weeks prior to the start of league.

We can also place you on a "free agent list" and your information will be forwarded to any manager seeking more players. Since the team fee is the responsibility of the manager, cost for individual players will be at the discretion of each respective team manager.

Q: What happens if my softball game is rained out?

A: First call the adult sports field condition hotline at (626) 580-2207. It has the latest information on the field conditions and cancellations of games. The last update will be posted by 5:30 PM of your playing day. If your game has been cancelled, you must follow your regular season schedule as it reads for the date that you are playing. Any rained out or cancelled games will be made-up at the conclusion of the regular season in the order that they were cancelled. A revised schedule will be sent to team managers near the conclusion of the regular season schedule.

Q: How can I add or drop a player to my roster?

A: Roster changes can only be made before the mid-way point on your schedule. For example, if you have 10 regular season games on your schedule, changes must be made by the fifth played game of the season. All changes must be submitted in writing by filling out an official Add/Drop form and submitted to our office no later than 5:00 PM of your playing day. Original forms may be faxed to (626) 258-8682, but you must call our office to notify the league director that the add will be sent by fax. The original copy must still be submitted in a sealed envelope labeled attention to the league director. Any forms submitted after 5:00 PM will be valid for the game the following week. For weekend games, Add/Drop forms must be submitted by 5:00 PM the Friday before the game.
