PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY:

As a reminder, our K-2 clinics are focused on learning basic basketball fundamentals and above all, fostering a love for the game. We will emphasize creating a fun and supportive environment for all the players. 

WHO:

Our K-2 Program Director is Matt Crabb. This is his second year in the K-2 program. As a volunteer coach last year, he was instrumental to the success of our first season. We welcomed him onto the MMYBL Board of Directors and we are lucky to have him step into this role. Matt will be developing the clinic plans for all groups. He will disseminate the plan to our volunteer coaches and they will carry out practice plans with the players. We have 101 children (!!!)  in this program and can never have too much help. Being a coach in the K-2 league requires zero basketball experience. So please don't hesitate to jump in! As our season gets underway, you will likely see some of our high school and middle school players helping out as well. :)

Program Details: 

For our youngest athletes, we hold weekly clinics to lay the groundwork for basic basketball fundamentals and foster a love for the game starting at a young age. We will emphasize creating a fun and supportive environment inclusive all children who want to learn the game. Clinics will be broken up by gender- they are not co-ed. 

As the season gets underway, we will incorporate scrimmages into the weekly clinics while continuing to focus on fundamental skills. Clinics will be run by our K-2nd Grade Recreation Director, with support from volunteer coaches and, as schedules allow- JV and Varsity players from MMU! This is a great program to get kids excited about the game!

Clinics will be held at a district school on Saturday Mornings from December 6th- February 14th 

 *No clinics will be held during the Thanksgiving & winter break.

Times will be announced as the season nears and enrollment numbers are more clearly defined. But you can expect your player to play ball between 8:00 am-12:00 pm.

Registration fee of $50

We believe in making sports accessible for everyone, and fundraise to ensure we have scholarships. Find out about our scholarships by emailing [email protected]

Uniforms will be ordered separately if you need one. If you played last season, the uniform is the same and can be used again.

THE LITTLE DETAILS:

   - NO need to bring a basketball- we will have plenty

   - NO outside shoes on the court

   - Bring a water bottle

   - Uniforms will be handed out when they arrive & we encourage the players to wear them weekly

HOW YOU CAN HELP US:

We are lucky to have access to our district's gymnasiums but we need your help in keeping them clean to support their facilities staff and ensure we are welcomed back. Please: remove all garbage you bring in; stay out of the school aside from the designated areas we are allowed to be in; and help us keep things tidy.
