This program is for boys, age 7 (or in Second Grade). Basketball at this age must be tailored to integrating skill development into a team setting. This Program will be in a clinic format, however, as the season progresses the sessions will involve games. The program will be run by a Coordinator with the express purpose of encouraging parents to participate and learn along with their children. Baskets will be at the 8'-0" height. 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 games will be played to layer offensive and defensive team concepts into the games. 

Activities will include:

- warm-up type drills that introduce particular movements and sequences of movements

- dribbling drills, stationary, in motion, and while being defended

- passing drills, stationary and in motion

-     shooting drills that teach them the fundamentals of shooting relative to their physical strength, lay ups.

-     rules such as traveling, double dribble, and contact fouls

-     the triple threat, and the other options you have from that position (all 7)

-     offensive concepts including spacing, cutting, and driving to the basket

-     defensive concepts including defensive stance and help defense

Players will begin to understand how all the basic tools and skills they've been practicing are implemented into a game situation.
