4th and 5th grade teams will be a mix of experienced and new players. Practices will be one hour once a week with games on Saturdays. The League continues to be developmental in nature at this age. Learning the basic skills, building on existing skills and playing as part of a team are the foundation for success. Our League is special in that the people who make up the League buy into a model that is positive and creates an environment where all players can be successful.
In order to create this model, we follow some basic rules-
We work hard to balance the teams and ask that you note that evaluations are necessary for all to be placed on a team. Small teams in basketball make it impossible to take requests for players or coaches as it would undo our ability to hold a coaches draft.
Each player will have the chance to learn how to bring the ball down the court, how to dribble and pass, and show good sportsmanship whether winning or losing. We use professional referees and HS players as scorekeepers to track the basic statistics for each game. We will post statistics, but will continue to be a developmental league and coaches will focus on fundamentals and team skills.
If your daughter loves basketball, we would like to encourage her to try travel level play.
