Players are evaluated in six different areas, basically dribbling, shooting, defensive sliding and height. We evaluate these areas so that we can break the children up to even teams and ensure equal teams.

My child is eligible to be in kindergarten, but we decided to hold them back a year, can my child still play in your league?
Absolutely, this league is designed so that all children have fun, learn the basics of basketball, and fellowship with children their age playing basketball! Your child may very well end up playing two years in the kindergarten division, but that is fine.
