Using this form to get BCE player feedback.

Historically, over the past 9 years, Blue Chip has been structured to provide a lower-cost registration for anyone to play basketball games in SJCS gyms and then to connect players with volunteer coaches who hold outdoor practices at their discretion.

Then BCE formed as an extension to Blue Chip Jr NBA almost 2 years ago to develop a year-round player training pool for players looking to play more competitive basketball. Then we connected our pool players with volunteer coaches, who based on the coach held additional squad practices outdoors. So this allowed our program to be more inclusive because players could get a gym practice in with the pool and possibly an additional outdoor practice with an assigned squad for a very low relative cost.

We have been working with the schools to start improving access to more gym time so we can offer more to our players that is comparable to other programs because many talented players in our community are not playing with us because we don’t have squad practices in a gym. Besides the fact that the last several seasons the weather has been terrible during practice hours, squads who practice in a gym play differently than ones who are used to playing outdoor.

So we have gotten some more gym availability approved and are going to offer competitive squads with gym practices and a paid coach. During this transition to offering more options we are going to do our best to build squads to meet our players’ needs but please be patient with us as we navigate all the issues that may arise.

Right now the two main programs that are playing NFLBL are offering 1.25 to 1.5 hr practices once a week, usually split court ranging from $480 -$690 for the season.

Here is our current Squad gym practice sign up page where some players have already begun registering https://bluechipelite.com/nflbl-register/

So for the same NFBL activity, we are going to target $average $00 and is based on a formula of coach requirements. So players can sign up specifically for a squad/coach, but may not be on the squad requested based on numerous factors as tryout, roster size etc will have to be determined. But we will do our best to place players in the best option available. and then may have to try out. We may still have squads that only go to the BCE practices and play games with no additional squad practices because they might be on a travel team or a school team and already have multiple additional practices and/or already know our BCE offensive sets and style and are a mature BCE squad.

Some BCE players may register an outdoor registration and play with a non BCE squad and some outside players may enter by signing up with a BCE squad but the squad coach wants them for some reason through a tryout session they show they have exceptional ability or the coach gets better support. The final roster is determined by the squad coach.

But as always for any Club V Club, extra league competitive games, tournament consideration etc only BCE players are considered.

Also remember Winter NFLBL league for BCE is ultimately where we are deciding what players/squads may be ready for Spring AAU since that is where the other organizations are stacking up their squads with their best players.

So please fill out this form asap and then we will try to factor it in accordingly.
