PRACTICES – Team practices will begin in late October. We will also add a secondary skills class during the week for their personal skill development technique and form. You will be able to choose your specific day/time/location. These will begin in November.
GAMES – First game will take in late November early December and run until early March. Games will be played primarily on Sundays, with a possible Saturday. All teams are scheduled to play in the 55 Swish League @ Basketball City Manhattan.
DEVELOPMENT FIRST – Winning matters. But it’s not the only thing that matters. While our teams will strive to win each game they play, our program and coach’s first priority is the development of your child. Their skill set should be advancing day-to-day and week-to-week. Each practice and game should be allowing your kid to use new skill sets that will propel their game forward.
GAME TRANSFERRABLE EMPHASES – Our travel program is designed to teach principles and skills that make a difference in game play for your child. All skills are nice, but the skills and reads that translate into making a school team or getting more playing time are our main focus. It might take more time to teach, but we are going to emphasize man-to-man defense, offensive motion principles and other concepts that translate in game play situations.
GREAT COACHES – Your team will be coached by one of our amazing coaches with experience playing or coaching at the highest level. That coach will be with you for the entire season for practices and games. The best teams have continuity and grow together for years!
MORE THAN BASKETBALL – It’s about more than just basketball. Playing for our team means you are also being coached on how to be a great teammate, a great leader and elite competitor.
THE GEAR – Your season fee includes an awesome apparel package (example; reversible jersey, uniform shorts, etc.)
