Players can also join in to learn the essentials and build a strong foundation in the fundamentals of basketball. Who Can Join: Boys and girls Gr 3-5 or 6-8 who are playing in our winter Future Stars/HV United Basketball Leagues. What to Bring: Basketball, water bottle, athletic clothing, and a great attitude!

Ball Handling • Dribbling • Shooting • Defense Introduce your young athlete to the game of basketball in a fun, positive, and structured environment. This 1-hour session will be split between skill development and live scrimmage play, giving players the chance to learn and apply their skills. Athletes will work on ball control, dribbling, shooting form, and defensive movement through engaging drills and games that build coordination, confidence, and game awareness. The session will conclude with a scrimmage to reinforce skills and encourage teamwork. • 3rd–5th grade players may have the opportunity to play outside, weather permitting. • K–2nd grade players will remain in the gym, as outdoor hoops are too tall.
