Purpose: To provide kids grades 3-6 with an opportunity to play basketball in a more structured environment than that of a recreation team. COBA teams are intended to provide competitive games and practices for players who wish to compete at a higher level. Think of this as a starting point for those who have ambitions playing Middle School Basketball.
Experience, Skill, and Athleticism: Experience, skill, and athleticism are considered when selecting participants for a team. Sometimes players don’t have the necessary tools to effectively take part in practices and games. While experience, skill, and athleticism aren’t the only considerations, they are an important part of the selection process.
Commitment: All our teams will be taught the same fundamental skills as our high school teams. Teams will practice 2-3 times per week in the preseason. Once the season starts there will be an average of three basketball events per week. The season ends in mid-February with a league tournament.
