FACTS:

-Each basketball session will consist of approximately 30 minutes of fundamental drills and 30 minutes of a competitive basketball game.

-"5 Dribble" Basketball is a fun way for kids to learn the game without the need to "over dribble." Standard basketball rules apply except that once the ball is past halfcourt whoever has the ball only has 5 dribbles before they need to pass or shoot. A 6th dribble will be ruled a turnover and the other team will get the ball.

-Players are allowed to "play up" or "play down" a grade level if the schedule works better for the family (i.e., 5th grade can play at the 6th-grade level and 6th graders can play at the 5th-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.
