FACTS:
-The training format for all the grade levels is 30 minutes of Skills and Drills whereby the trainers will be doing BASKETBALL STATIONS which they will rotate every 5-7 minutes to maximize the kids' exposure to the various skill sets and basketball fundamentals they should learn. The other 30 minutes of the training session will be a competitive basketball game.
-Players are allowed to "play up" or "play down" a grade level (i.e., 4th grade can play at the 5th-grade level and 5th graders can play at the 4th-grade level, etc.)
-We will have co-ed basketball training sessions for all grade levels.
-The trainers will provide the necessary feedback to the youth throughout the training sessions, so their basketball skill sets are improved.
-Every player will receive a basketball t-shirt.
-The participant fee is $220 and can be paid with a credit card, checking/debit account during the online registration process as well as a personal check.
-All registered participants will receive more information about the opening day of training a few days before it is set to begin.
