At little BALLERS we believe that kids can do incredible things! Our goal is to train our kids so that when they are prepared to play in games. We are excited to announce that kids in our program will now have the opportunity to put into practice some of the skills they have learned by playing in an actual game in our very own little BALLERS League. Sessions will be for kids ages 4 to 5 and 6 to 8. Each session will be divided up into two parts:
Part 1: 45 minutes of stretching, warmups, and focused skill development.
Part 2: 15 minutes of playing against each other. During this time players will be given practice pinnies so they can easily identify the other players on their team. Participants will play on a half court and will use our adjustable little BALLERS hoops which will be set at a height that is comfortable for players to shoot on. Games will be played under the direction of a referee. There will be one referee/coach that will guide both teams. Coaching and reffing will be done while kids are playing meaning that stoppages in play will happen sporadically throughout the game. The ref’s/coach’s role will be to gently introduce the rules of the game, inform participants when violations are made, ensure that substitutions are made so each player plays equally, and ensure that players are playing safely and respectfully.
Our plan is to run LB League as often as we can. We hope that you will sign your children up at least the week prior to the 1st of each month so that we know how many kids will be coming in each monthly session. Those who register midway through various months can register at prorated rates. We thank you for your support of this program and look forward to the opportunity to coach your child.
