Sunrise Sports Leagues

The Sunrise Optimist Club of North Topeka and the Seaman School District are looking forward to another season of providing the Boys’ Jr. Viking Basketball Program.  This program provides an opportunity for boys currently in the sixth and seventh grade to play in a more advanced and structured basketball environment.

The league is expected to be made up of six teams with a maximum of 10 players on each team.  The league play is to begin on Wednesday, May 28, 2008.  We will be playing on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons.   A season ending tournament will be held on Wednesday, July 9^th and Sunday, July 13^th.  There will be eleven to twelve games including a tournament if there are six teams in the league.

Practices will be held at East Indianola Grade School, 2000 NW Clay, or at a location of the coach's choosing.  Any boy wanting to play in this league must complete a Registration Form and return it along with the player’s fee to Mike Stock no later than Saturday, April 26, 2008.  The player’s fee is $40.00.  Scholarships are available for boys unable to pay the player’s fee.  Local businesses and individuals sponsor teams in this league. Please indicate on the Registration Form if you are interested in sponsoring a team.  The fee for sponsoring a team is $100.00.

IMPORTANT: Adults interested in coaching must demonstrate support for the goals of the league.  This league is designed to teach the players the fundamentals of basketball, good sportsmanship, teamwork and will provide a positive atmosphere for them to occur.  Every player and their parents will have different experience and knowledge levels, so your actions will help the players and parents understand the proper respect for the game.  Adults who are interested in applying to be a coach should indicate on the Registration Form.

Tryouts will be conducted at East Indianola Grade School, 2000 NW Clay.  The drills will consist of dribbling, shooting and three on three.  The tryout schedule is:
