Age Levels and Descriptions
The K-2 program will run once a week on Saturday mornings from January 4 through February 14. Players will use smaller-sized basketballs and play on a (rim) height appropriate to their ability levels. The focus is strictly on skill development, learning self-control, basic fundamentals, and having fun. Participants will receive a t-shirt as part of their registration. We ask that they come to practice with a water bottle, clean sneakers, and a positive and willing to try attitude. We cap each grade at 20 participants each and meet for 45 minutes.
Registration Fee: $40 per child
