Our Basketball Goal
Our goal is to let children be able to experience the game of basketball as a youth. While we want the players to have fun, we also would like to teach them basic drills so they can develop there skill level for wherever they may play. Not only what they can do with the ball but without it as well. We encourage team play. The sooner they learn the "Team Theme”, the easier there life will be going forward.
We use an evaluation process to make teams as equal as possible. 2nd and 3rd grade girls and 2nd grade boys are separated to form equal teams, although we do try to make this level mainly skill development. But as we know all kids love to run and play just like the big kids. For the older levels the Coaches draft their teams (may chose to place players instead).
Practices & Games
We will use Lewis Mills Basketball Players to referee the 3rd-4th girls and 5th-6th boys. The older grade levels will use a certified referee and High school player. All games are played in two 20 minute halves with running time. We play with an equal time rotation; sometime this may change when kids get tired, hurt, etc. This may result in lost time. Talk to your child before asking the coach about their playing time, they may have the answer for you or drop the coach a quick e-mail when you get home.
No matter what age group you are in please get your child there early enough to change into there basketball sneakers.
This is not a drop off program you are responsible for your child until he steps on the court under the coach’s supervision and back to you at the end of the practice/game. We encourage you to stay and watch but if you have to leave please let the coach know.
