Kindergarten through 8th Grade Boys and Girls Rec Programs- Grades 1-8 will have evaluations to create equal teams as best as possible. You may add a 'special request' on the registration form. These requests for same teams with friends/coaches will be noted but not guaranteed.
Kindergarten- This will be an 8 week clinic run by John Alexander of Alexander Basketball Academy on Saturdays. The first 4 weeks will be skill development and teaching the basics of how to play. The second 4 weeks will be centered around playing actual games. The clinic will be run at Alexander Basketball Academy in Mt. Airy behind Health Unlimited- Session to start January 7th.
1st /2nd Grade Co-ed- Evaluations and skills assessment will be held and league will be broken into 2 groups- Non-competitive, which will not keep score and will not have playoffs, and will play to end of season. 2nd group would be more competitive, keeping score and having play-offs.
3rd/4th Grade Boys, 5th/6th Grade Boys and 7th/8th Grade Boys Programs will not play in MYBA league as last year, but rather in-house league. Evaluation and player drafts will be held in forming teams.
3rd-5th Grade Girls and 5th-8th Grade Girls Programs- Evaluations will be held and parents who may wish their 5th grader to play in 6th-8th league, may do so with coach and coordinator discussion.
Practices for grades 1-8 will be once or twice a week, in the evenings, at schools in the LOUYAA area. Days to be determined by coaches and approved school reservations. Games will be on the weekends at LOUYAA area schools. Evaluations for team drafting will take place last week of October/1st week of November, and practices would start the week following and season will run through end of February/beginning of March.
We will need volunteer coaches so if you are interested in helping coach for 1st-8th grade groups, let me know, and register as a Volunteer when you register your child.
