Our First day report time will be 6:00pm on Tuesday, March 26th at Crews Road Recreation Center. Plan on your son being in the gym for around 90 minutes the first evening! On this day we'll draft teams/honor teammate requests, hand out uniform tops and schedules, assign coaches, and begin teaching our motion offense.

For the following 7 sessions, boys will report each Tuesday & Thursday evening at 6:00pm for 20 minutes of professional skills training followed by a 40 minute league game. This report time will depend on which team your son is placed. Every effort will be made to honor all teammate requests - but not if the request causes our teams to be unbalanced.

Professional skills training will include - Ball handling, Shooting, passing, defense, rebounding, transition offense & defensive principals, motion offense, 1 on 1 moves & more!

FAQ: What if we cannot attend the first day evaluation?
No worries! Your son will be placed on a team, your schedule and roster will be emailed to you, and your son's jersey will be waiting for him at the gym next session!

Who will be training my son - coaching him?
Our "Site Directors" are carefully hand selected professionals that have impressive basketball experience - but also have the ability to teach and motivate young players. They will handle the instruction/drills each league day. We rely on parents to volunteer to sit on the bench with the boys during the actual games. Positive spirited adults with a love of serving are encouraged to sign up to coach!
