Nothin' But Net News Vol. 23, Issue 1
Dear Winter Basketball & Indoor Soccer Participants,

Welcome to the 2019 Winter WNSL Season! For Basketball, this is not only our 23rd year, but the largest basketball season to date with 291 teams! It is also our 6th Winter Indoor Soccer season and we're ringing it in with 70 teams! We are thrilled to see so many returning faces, and happy to welcome our new ones.

This newsletter will serve as your bi-weekly league update. Here you will find scheduling information, rule updates/announcements, league events and registration information for upcoming sports and events. So, be sure to give it a scan each week!

In case you have not yet heard or seen, weeks 1 - 4 of the season schedules are now posted. You may view them on WNSL.org/Basketball and WNSL.org/Soccer.

The remaining weeks of the schedules will be posted after the first 3 weeks are played. This is what sets WNSL a part. We take pride in giving every team and player a fair chance to win...and lose. We set the schedule based off of what we know about your team (usually from information collected at the coaches meeting before the season) for the first 3-4 weeks. 

At the 3 week mark we go back to the drawing board and make sure we have the right teams in the right divisions. We will make changes and then release the remainder of the schedule. Again, our goal is to be fair and give every team a fair chance.

We wish to start off these seasons with our utmost gratitude and THANK YOU all for choosing WNSL as your sports destination! We hope to make this winter season a memorable one for your players and you! We would also like to thank all of our volunteer coaches - we could not do this without you!

Happy New Year,

WNSL Staff
Inclement Weather Policy
If games are cancelled a notice will be placed on WNSL.org , Facebook and Twitter . If time permits we will send out an email as well. Coaches and team parents are responsible for spreading the word from there. Both Basketball and Soccer will receive notices.

Games are not rescheduled by the league due to absolutely no "wiggle" room in the gym availability or ability to extend the season; however, if coaches from both teams find and agree upon a gym for a weather related makeup game, the league will provide referees. A five day notice is mandatory for this policy.

WNSL makes the hard decision to cancel based on the safety of our players, parents, coaches, referees and staff, however, occasionally schools will tie our hands and make the decision for us. If there are situations where only one or two gyms will be closed or starting later, a notice will be placed on the website and social media, and your individual teams will receive an email.
