This division is all about fun. Score is not kept and there is no end-of-season tournament. Emphasis is on helping the kids learn the basic fundamentals and good sportsmanship. Coaches are on the court during games to referee and help encourage the players.
Please, please consider being a coach. Basketball coaching experience is not required! We just need willing parents with a basic knowledge of basketball who want to help our kids love the sport. We don't want to have to turn any kids away because we don't have enough coaches.
