Last Home Game

It is our last home game tonight against Rogers.  Girls start at 6:00 with the Boy's game to follow.  Any player that wears their youth program shirt gets in free.  See you tonight!

February 18 (week 6)

The 2nd through 4th graders worked on passing and transition defense at Brown while the 5th and 6th grades were at the Middle School.  I cannot currently find the results for week 6, but hopefully they will turn up soon.

February 25 will  be the last day for the winter program.  The coaches have had a great time with the kids.  The last day will include some review and competitions, as well as a mini tournament.  We hope everyone can make it.

February 11 (week 5)

Sorry to those of you following this site - we have been really busy.  Fortunately a snow day will let me catch up a little.

We worked on triple threat, body balance and using the pivot foot today.  This was some really good stuff for the boys to learn.  Hopefully they are putting it into their games.

January 14th (Week 1)

Thanks to all the parents and kids who showed up for the 2012 youth basketball program.
2nd -4th grade were at Brown with Coach Crandell while 5th and 6th grades were with Coach Honton and Reinstein at the High School.

The 2nd through 4th graders focused on defense, communication and rebounding, while the 5th and 6th graders worked on the fundamentals of shooting.

The t-shirts have been ordered - they will hopefully be here this week.

See you Saturday.
