ROOKIE DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rookie Division will begin on Sunday December 7th with a fundamental clinic style practice. We will focus on dribbling, passing and shooting. We will have the players participate in a clinic style practice on 12/7 & 12/14 @1pm. 12/21 the Rookies will be off (Gym floor being resurfaced).  After the holiday break, in January the players will play games versus other rookie teams from other cities. In December we will let all parents know which team their child is on and who the coach is. Also, in December each player will receive a brand new basketball and uniform.

Picture Day has been moved to Saturday January 10th. We will send each team their picture time by Sunday December 21st. Thank you for your patience.
