Basketball

Our Girls and Boys programs will be participating in a local developmental league this season. This will be a more recreational style league with a focus on skills and learning the game of basketball through weekly team practices and games against 5 other schools. The fee for both boys and girls will be $100 per player. All players will receive a new jersey.

*** NOTE *** Both Boys and Girls programs will have a "fee offset" opportunity where raffle tickets can be sold to offset all or a portion of the registration fee. Raffle tickets will be handed out at the beginning of practices.

*As the season progresses there will be sign-ups for an optional competitive league that will have an additional cost and try outs. More information to come on that as the season progresses.

Boys & Girls, Grades Pre-K-2 (Beginner)
The FBA program is for grades Pre-K and K, and will be conducted on Saturdays only, for 6-7 weeks starting in early January (exact date and time TBD). This will be a clinic style, skills focused program that will introduce our youngest players to the basics of basketball. Grades 1 and 2 will still focus on skills development, but will also add more focus on game situations, and games will be played against teams from the local area. Grades 1 and 2 will practice one night a week (night/time TBD) and play games on Saturdays. Players not interested in game play can still participate in FBA on Saturdays starting in January. Practices will begin in late November, you will be contacted via email with details, or watch our Facebook page for updates.

The cost is $25 per player.
