The season at a glance

  • 10

    Sunday sessions

    A full season on the same court, start to finish.

  • 75

    Minutes each

    Long enough to warm up, put in work, and still play.

  • 3

    Skill-based groups

    Coaches place each player by level and move him when he outgrows it.

  • League play & trophies

    The games count. Everyone takes something home.

How we group players

The right group beats the right age

A fourth grader who has had a ball in his hands since he could walk and a seventh grader picking one up for the first time do not belong in the same drill. So we don’t put them there. Coaches watch every player and place him with the group that matches how he actually plays.

A beginner gets taught. A player who already has a handle gets pushed. Most boys stay in their group all season. If one outgrows his, we move him and work the schedule out with your family.

  • Placed by skill
  • Watched every week
  • Adjusted when needed

3 groups share the gym every Sunday. Same court, same coaches, different level of work.

Who’s coaching your son

These are the coaches who run the sessions. They know the boys by name, they teach fundamentals properly, and they hold the gym to the same standard every week.
