Boys Programs

 

Please LIKE us on Facebook for updates about our programs.  

 

Our Fall/Winter Program hopes to open registration by September 1st; however, we will not open registration until we have filled our coaching needs. If you are interested in coaching, please register below and it will speed up when we can open registration.

Our programs offered for boys include the following:

- Junior Bounce Academy (ages 4-7 years old) - This is a fundamentals based training course that we offer first-time players. It is a great introduction to the game and skills-based, so players are prepared to enter 8U COED league play once they complete it.

- 8U COED League (Ages 7-8 years old) - Players cannot turn 9 before January 1, 2025. This is an introductory league where players are exposed to the rules of basketball and competitive play in a safe and fun environment. Rules/fouls are called loosely in order to maintain safety, but leeway is given to create a teaching environment.

- 10u Boys League (Ages 9–10 years old) - Players cannot turn 11 before January 1, 2025. We consider our 10u league as the start of “real” basketball. Rules/fouls are called per NFHS rules. Players are guaranteed 3:00 of playing time per half per the coach’s discretion including things like attendance at practice. Coaches work on building on fundamental skills and introducing various types of offensive/defensive plays.

- 12u Boys League (Ages 11-12 years old) - Players cannot turn 13 before January 1, 2025. 12u is not only the middle between our 10u/14u leagues by age, but also by ability. We see a big jump in skill level once players reach the 12u age group and that is noted in their level of play. 12u still applies many of the recreational aspects of play to help players advance their abilities, but also begins to introduce more competitive basketball like they will experience in school and in the 14u league play. Players are guaranteed 2:00 of playing time per half per coach’s discretion based on a variety of factors such as attendance at practice.

- 14u Boys League (Ages 13-14 years old) - Players cannot turn 15 before January 1, 2025. Our 14u is often thought of as our most competitive league, not only because the boys are growing into young men, but because we remove almost all of the recreational aspects of the game - now allowing them a full-court press. This is often the most exciting part of the game for the kids and one they have long-requested!

Assessments are REQUIRED for all registered players. Failure to attend assessments will result in registration being forfeited and NO refunds! There are no exceptions for emails that are not received from our system. All players will receive an exact time for their assessments at a date which will be announced once registration is open. 

We expect a tentative calendar for the Fall/Winter Season to look something like what is listed below. This is NOT a final schedule and will not be guaranteed.

- Season will last November through early March (possibly late October for assessments).

- Practices will be during the week with games on Saturdays for 8U/10u and Sundays for 12u/14u. Practices will likely be Mondays or Thursdays (8U/10u) and Tuesdays or Wednesdays (12u/14u). We do our best to accommodate alternative sports schedules and coordinate with local schools/leagues but cannot guarantee no conflicts. Additionally, we do not accept/honor practice/game time requests.

- Times for practices are 5:30, 6:30, or 7:30 pm on the designated nights. Again, we do not accept/honor practice time requests.

- Once we have assessments, teams will be openly drafted by the coaches and players/parents will be assigned a team assignment via TeamSnap. Please ensure you have TeamSnap downloaded and installed for all communication.

Please note: due to high numbers, we cannot accept team or practice preferences by players and do not agree to honor these requests.
