Information on the Developmental Programs
Description of our developmental program for 1st-4th graders:
Skills and drills with high school coaches and volunteer parent coaches for the first 30-40 minutes. The remainder of the time will be scrimmages. Teams will be changed every session. When the players check in before each session they will be given a name tag with their name and their group number for the week. We are very focused on developing skills correctly(ball handling, dribbling, passing, shooting, defensive position). Our goal is for the players to build upon skills they learned the previous week. The focus on repetition, in our opinion, is the best way for skill development. Players are required to bring a ball and a water bottle to each session. Pinnies will be handed out the first session.
