Empire All Stars College Women's Summer League

League Summary (2010)

For the 13th  year in a row, a competitive summer basketball league is being held.  This year's league will be held at Union College in Schenectady, NY.   The floors at HVCC are being refinished which will take the entire summer.  The college league will commence during the week of June 28th.  Once the schedule is posted...which is projected to be on Wednesday June 30, following our first night of registration and scrimmage, you can view the first couple of weeks' of this year's schedule, simply  click on the icon below, that is labeled “League Schedule” for a complete listing of all game dates, times and locations. The league will consist of two six teams divisions for college women. At present, and based on previous years registrations, the league will likely field a total of 12 teams.  We will have more clarity on this once we complete the registration process on June 28th.

Rules & Player Limitations

All participants must have league registration fees fully paid for the current year (as well as any previous years), prior to participation. No member team shall make any payments for play or expenses directly or indirectly to any player.

Team-Player Draft – Women’s College Division

For those of you "new" to the league, some teams come to play, already "formed" with current players that live in the area, and/or alumni or friends that wish to play together. That's fine.  If you don't have such an affiliation, we conduct a "draft". As in previous years, the  team/player draft will be conducted, prior to the start of league play at an appropriate time and venue. This year...the draft  will (generally) tale place on the first night of league activity, i.e. on June 28th. Everyone who is registered or who intends on registering should attend.   (f you cannot make it that night...not to worry....you can and will still be put on a team...and you can still participate in the league.  Instead of scheduled games...we will have "organized scrimmages" in a round robin format...such that the team captains can then make "informed" decisions about the players they are drafting. The scheduled league games will then commence on June 28th.

Please note: only those registered and fully paid will be permitted to participate. If a player's fee is not paid, they are not insured. If they are not insured...they will not be allowed to participate...so don't even ask!
