Welcome to Rookie Ball, our introductory basketball program specifically designed for young kids in Grades 1-3! Rookie Ball is a fun, high-energy program where young athletes develop core movement skills through basketball, focusing on agility, balance, coordination, and teamwork. Rookie Ball is the perfect way for young athletes to build confidence, stay active, and develop a love for the game of basketball. No experience is necessary—just bring your energy and enthusiasm! Each session is structured with: 40 minutes of skill development: Players will learn essential basketball techniques like dribbling, passing, and shooting through engaging drills and activities. 20 minutes of gameplay: Kids will put their skills into action with friendly, modified games that emphasize teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun. Session Groupings Players will be grouped each week by ability and skill level. As this is a mixed Grades 1-3 class, players may be grouped with older or younger players, depending on their level. One friend request per player is available during registration for this program. Schedule Notes Length - each season will have 9-10 sessions spread across 11-12 weeks.
