First day report time will be 12:30pm on Saturday, December 10th at Jackson Day School. Plan on your son being in the gym for about two hours the first Saturday! On this day we will draft teams/honor teammate requests, hand out uniform tops and schedules, assign coaches, and begin teaching our motion offense.

For the following 6 weeks, boys will report each Saturday morning/afternoon for 40 minutes of professional skills training followed by a 40 minute league game. Every effort will be made to honor all teammate requests - but not if the request causes teams to be unbalanced. "friendship will not overtake fairness"

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 the following weekend

Who will be training my son - coaching him?
Coach Johnson, Jackson Day School's varsity boy's coach, has impressive basketball experience - but also has the ability to teach and motivate young players. He will handle the instruction/drills each league day. We rely on parents to volunteer to sit on the bench with the boys during our games. Positive spirited adults with a love of serving are encouraged to sign up to coach!
