EAYBL & Next Gen
Sat 2-5pm, Sun 5-8pm
Our main goal and focus for this basketball league is for our coaches to really focus on encouraging and pushing the students to learn not only the game of basketball, but also assist players in exposing them to life lessons through the game of basketball. Improving the basketball skills of the players in the program, learning to play as a team and not individually, and most importantly making sure every player has an enjoyable experience.
Offering basketball drills for the elementary and middle school players, and team chemistry building for high school players.
