U11 (Grades 5-7)

Spring 2023 Season - Currently not offered

  • This Division is open to athletes from Grade 5 to Grade 7 and has an equal focus on skill development and 3-on-3 competition play.  Regardless of skill level or previous experience with basketball, our athletes will work on developing more technical basketball skills, along with learning and implementing offensive and defensive strategies through a variety of games, stations, and individual and group skill practice. The last 30-45 minutes of each practice is dedicated to 3-on-3 play so our athletes can utilize their skills and learn through competitive play. This is really great way for athletes new to the sport to have an introduction and develop their skills before the Junior Cager returns this winter at the school level!

    ****Please note that while the division remains named U11, it IS open to children in Grade 7 that may be 12 years old****

NOTE: Coaches may move players to the division best suited to their level of development.

The grade guideline for registration is subject to adjustments to create the best learning atmosphere and experience for athletes.
