Open Board Positions - The ERBYB program is currently in need of a 7th through 10th Grade House Coordinator.  If interested in helping the program with this position, please send an email to the ERBYB President, Mark Pederson, at mpederson@ga-er.org

Referee Opportunity - The ERBYB program is seeking 8th grade and older boys and girls to referee house league games.  Referees are paid per game refereed.  A referee clinic will be held for all referees before season begins. Season will begin in early December, and league games are played on Saturdays and tournament games are played on Saturdays and Sundays.  If you are interested in becoming a referee, have refereed in the past and would like to help again this year, or for any other questions, please contact the Referee Coordinator, Steve Trapp, at SteveMaryBeth@Charter.net .  Also, any parents that would like to volunteer as a referee are welcome to participate as well.

7th thru 10th Grade House update - The ERBYB has some exciting news we want to share with you.  For the upcoming 2008/2009 season we are planning to change to the 7^th – 9^th grade level.  We are going to add 10^th grade, and group 7^th & 8^th grades together and 9^th & 10^th grades together.  We are making this change to offer the opportunity for our 10^th grade young men that are not on the high school team to continue to play organized basketball, and to   improve the player size and skill balance across the top grade levels of the program.  We have heard from a number of 7^th grade parents that it can be challenging and even intimidating for a 7^th grader to play against a 9^th grader; and from 9^th grade parents and players that wish there was an opportunity to continue playing.  We feel that this change will address both issues.  Of course this change will be dependent on the number of players we get registered.  Our goal is to have a minimum of 6 teams at each grade level.  We feel that this certainly doable, but will need to wait until registration opens to determine if we can implement the change.
