Practices

    This is a valuable time for coaches and young players!  During the one-hour, weekly practice, coaches run their teams through drills to improve their fundamental skills.  They also share a devotional during the Team Time to encourage players to face challenges with Christian character.  Practice times are determined by the availability of the gym and the coach’s schedule.

Games

    Everyone plays for at least 20 min. total of every game.  10 games guaranteed.  Games are played on a short court with a junior-sized ball.  Game rules are modified, including free throws at halftime where every player has a chance to score for their team.  Our staff includes Halo-certified directors and referees.  We like to keep the atmosphere positive, so our directors will excuse anyone not abiding by the Halo Commitment.
