We will close sign ups Friday, April 25th! Registration fees are also due on the 25th! Some parents have paid the registration but haven’t sent T-shirt size or guardian information. We need the information and fees to be paid asap.

Also, coaches meeting tonight! See you at 5:30

I ordered wrist bands for the 2nd graders, so they know who they are guarding and they all don’t chase whoever has the ball the whole time.

Looking forward to a great summer league! Thanks for your support!

Brake the Cycle and Avery Drain made the paper! We are approaching 50 sign ups in less than two weeks. I will extend the sign up limit considering we have 20 coaches. The goal is to run this league as smooth as possible! Get the kids as many reps as we can in eight weeks to see improvement.

Parents!!!

I’m considering putting a four dribble limit for each player, every possession. This will teach the youth how to maximize distance with each dribble and break the habit of overdribbling.

I remember college coaches yelling “SPECTATORS DIDNT COME TO WATCH YOU DRIBBLE!”

They were right. It makes the offense stagnant. Let’s teach them the correct way as early as possible.

02/23/2025

Update! We have 20 kids signed up already! We have exactly ten boys and ten girls! We will stop at 100, sign up today to get a spot on the roster!
