This practice was put in place many years ago to not disenfranchise parents and caregivers that are not able to attend in person registration because of work, illness or other commitments. There is a perception that this opportunity is being abused, and could be abused further in the future.
As an executive of this league that has been in operation for 71 seasons we have operated on the premise of mutual respect between our league families and those of us charged with the responsibility of operating the program.
We want you to know that we are committed to reviewing our registration practices in the months ahead, and putting unambiguous controls in place before our next season, and making those changes clearly communicated in advance of registration process. Roland Billings for the Pete Petersen Basketball League Executive
