For 2nd and 3rd Grade League, in which the vast majority of players are new to even the most basic elements of the sport, the structure and expectations are unique. For true success, every single player on each team has learned new basketball skills by the end of the season. Each team may have a player who is aggressive, gets to the ball first and already knows how to dribble and shoot. Success in the 2nd and 3rd Grade League is not measured by how many times that player gets to score or steals the ball from an opponent just learning to dribble outside of her own driveway.
Success is giving each player the chance to learn how to bring the ball down the court, how to dribble and pass, and showing good sportsmanship whether you win or lose. For the player, the team and the coaches to have a successful season, the win-loss record is not important. The game scores and individual player statistics will, of course, be celebrated and remembered by many of the players but not entered on the website for this age group.
