How are the teams formed?
On the first day of league we have the players go through different drills and competition to evaluate their skill level. We grade each player on their skill level and then “draft” players to insure teams are as balanced as well as possible. Equal playing time is strictly enforced.
What is your refund policy?
A 100% refund is offered - if the request is made before the program begins. Once a program has started, no refund will be offered.
Are there any organized practices?
No. We teach the league offense the first day of league. We play strictly man to man defense and all coaching of the team is done during the games.
Describe a typical session.
At the start of each session, all players will attend a clinic that will focus on teaching developing offensive and defensive fundamental skills. Then they will play a league game, rest while another game is played, then play another league game all in the same day. All league games consist of two twenty minute halves.
What if I want to coach in this league?
Great. We welcome parents that would like to coach – provided you have low blood pressure, no anger management issues, and can encourage, teach, inspire and lead in a positive way.
Why do you call the program “Yes I Can”
We realized many years ago we have a captive audience. Sure we want the kids to enjoy the game and develop basketball skills, but we also use basketball as a vehicle to share inspirational and motivating messages that all kids benefit from hearing. Guest speakers will deliver motivational / inspirational messages at our leagues and camps.
