5 on 5: Beginning at the third grade level, players in the All-American basketball academy begin to learn how to implement a true offense and defense with their teammates.  Each team will be made up of about 10 players so that each player can receive equal playing time during the games.

 

Full-Court Game:  This will allow players to experience the fun of playing “full court” basketball with their team.  *Note:  Games will be played cross-court, not on an official full basketball court.

  

Games:  Each team will play a total of 7 games throughout the season followed by a tournament designed to reward players for all their hard work during the season.  Each team will have 2 practice sessions to prepare with their coach and teammates prior to the first game.  All games will be played on Saturday mornings, except tournament games which will take place during the final week of the season.

 

Life:  The importance of Character is emphasized in 10 minute team "Time Out’s".  The coach will share with parents and kids how the Bible says we are to attain character and live it out, on the floor and off.

 

 

Each child will receive a both a jersey and shorts to wear during each game.
