crosscheck basketball

Crosscheck is a Christ-centered athletic association with the mission of advancing and building God’s Kingdom through sports and exist to provide a competitive sports environment that honors Jesus Christ in all we do! We hope you’ll join us in that pursuit this season and encourage others to do the same.

COACHES OF INDEPENDENT TEAMS - We are receiving questions about how to “register a team” for this new registration system. It is much easier than before, please follow these steps:

  1. Click the “Register Here” button on this page and register with your coach interest (whether you are going to be a Head or Assistant Coach). By choosing these options, you will be presented with some conditional questions that are only applicable to coaches. One of those questions for head coaches allows you to list your expected roster of players.

  2. All of the player families will use this same registration link. Since they are not choosing the coach option, their questions will be different. One of those questions will be which coach invited you to participate, and this is where you want to make sure they list your name.

That’s it! Since we’ll have the ability to match between a coach’s expected roster and a player naming that coach, it will be easy for us to match these together. We’ll confirm rosters with all independent team coaches and families before finalizing.

RESOURCES

  • All basketball participants will register through our new Praxis registration form, no matter if you are participating on a school partner team, independent team, or a free agent registration.

    Please review the options below so when you register, you choose the right selection.

    COACHES - Please register yourself and be sure to mark your coaching interest so you will be presented with the correct questions during registration.

    School & Program Teams: Players register and select which school they are attending and participating with. Our staff works with the school contact to ensure correct placement.

    Independent Team Registration: For Head Coaches who are bringing a team to play, you will be presented with a question where you can fill out your expected roster. Please make sure you register yourself and mark that you are coaching for this to occur.

    For participants on an independent team, when you register, you will be presented with a question about your expected Head Coach who invited you. This allows us to compare against one another and ensure correct placement on independent teams.

    Individual Registrations (Free Agents): Players register as independent, free agents with the desire to be placed on a team. While we cannot always guarantee a spot on a team, we will do everything we can to make sure free agents have a team to play for this season and we will be in communication with those parents as we approach the deadline.
