FALL 2024 BASKETBALL @ST. PIUS
Our Fall Basketball Program is perfect for kids that play "Fall Sports" but still want to get some hoops in! We have several options for players to ensure that everyone can make it work into their schedule!
Players are definitely encouraged to do a skills clinic and a FAST BREAK LEAGUE if it fits their schedule!!!
SKILLS CLINICS are practices where we focus on building INDIVIDUAL FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS as well as team play concepts. Emphasis is placed on ball handling, shooting, and passing. Skills Clinics have multiple coaches in the gym working with players to make sure all players get proper coaching based on their abilities. Skills clinics meet once per week for 8 weeks and cost $280.
FAST BREAK LEAGUE are games where we play a constant 3 on offense and 2 on defense. Someone is always open so the ball moves fast and players learn to keep the ball moving and hit the open man! There is more scoring than a regular 5 on 5 game and all players get touches on the ball. The games are casual but competitive! They are a ton of fun and a great way for all players to test their skills. FAST BREAK LEAGUE meets once per week for 6 weeks and the cost is $185.
