Along with ball handling and shooting skills, children are ready to work on teamwork. Early in the program, skill work with dribbling and passing is stressed. Later, the idea of team play will be developed as teams participate in scrimmages. Players will have the opportunity for other fun such as: Swimming (Saturdays). Each team of 8 - 10 players is lead by an adult volunteer leader and an assistant leader. The teams are organized according to schools. Large schools may be divided up due to number of players registered and small schools mixed in with larger schools.
Girls and boys are on separate teams.
