Skills Assessment
Each child will be evaluated independently through standard basketball drills and scrimmages. When putting each team together, we will try our level best to keep teams evenly matched taking into consideration each player's skill level. Player assesment will be kept private.
Pre-League Training / Schedule Development
Children will undergo training to prepare for the upcoming league. Training sessions below:
- Drills and thought patterns to ensure a calm composure under high intensity play
- Drills that point out the essentials of organized basketball (picks, zone defense, etc)
- Drills and thought exercises on how to learn, measure and build skill in anything you do
10 Week League
First 5 weeks will consist of 2 practices, and 1 game per week. This allows for children to adapt to their teammates, build fundamental skills, and then apply what they've learned in a league game.
The last 5 weeks of the league will consist of 1 practice, and 2 games per week. By this time your child has established relationships with their teammates and adapted to their responsibilities and position. All teams automatically make the playoffs. If they lose the first round they are moved to a second bracket (double elimination) where they can potentially work their way back to the first and have a chance at winning the finals.
