• The person at the desk will have a mask and gloves.  We are going to ask the ref to wear a mask.
• The State requires 30 minutes between each game. Games will be scheduled with at least a 30 minute buffer to prevent overlap of participants.  We are considering locking the doors during games to maintain the gym as open only to the players, referees and workers.

• Workers and players shall stay home if sick or experiencing any symptoms as found in the waiver.
• Players will be required to bring their own water bottles.  Water bottles shall not be shared.  Water fountain use is restricted.
• Players will not huddle at any point during the game. Sportsmanship will continue in a touchless manner – no handshakes/slaps/fist bumps after games.
• Cleaning of facility is the responsibility of Greenwich Catholic School who has told us they will be following state regulations for facilities. Before and after games we will wipe down the chairs, desk, clock, and ball. 
• Hand sanitizer will be made available at the door and at the officials’ desk.

The GBA expects to make changes to team rosters prior to the first regular season game and reserves the right to change team rosters at any time.

For Information on how to register and to register:

1. please click on the "Register online" tab.
2. If you have any questions or problems, please email our registrar, Renee Murphy .  She will get back to you promptly. 

Players are not permitted to play for GBA in either the house or travel programs if they are registered with any other program in the Fairfield County Basketball League.  The other programs in this league based in Greenwich are High Rise and Greenwich Stars.

If your player is registered for both and you are retaining the registration with High Rise or Greenwich Stars please contact us immediately to cancel the GBA registration.  At this point we can give you a refund less a $10 admin fee.  If  we discover, or are notified of, the dual registration after our program starts on November 5th the player will be removed from GBA and  will forfeit the full GBA registration fee.

The completion and submission of a registration form and the payment of the registration fee only constitute an offer to play in the GBA league which is not accepted by GBA until the player being registered is placed on a team and listed on the team roster page of the GBA website.  GBA reserves the right to reject any registration for any reason in its sole discretion.  In the event that GBA rejects a registration prior to placing the registered player on a team, GBA will provide a full refund of the monies paid at the time of registration.  GBA may in its sole discretion remove any or all of a player or their family from the league at any time, or a coach from coaching, if it determines in its sole discretion that there has been a violation of its codes of warranting such removal.  Removal from the league may include, but is not limited to, a suspension of playing time, a complete ban from the league, and/or a prohibition on attendance of league activities.
