108 Basketball is Official

November 3rd we kicked off our first team practice. Our team ranges from 9-13 years old. After introductions we worked on dribbling, passing and defense positioning. The girls are motivated and willing to lear. Several girls are trying out for their school basketball team so i will do my best to ensure they are ready for tryouts and will continue to improve throughout the season.

The schedule will be posted on the website under Events. Anyone is welcome at anytime to try out the team and see how they like it. We will continue to work on the following:

• Shooting: Perfect your shooting technique and accuracy.

• Dribbling: Improve your ball-handling skills.

• Defense: Learn how to defend against opponents effectively.

• Teamwork: Practice working with teammates in a game-like setting.

  
  

• Set Goals: Think about what you want to achieve during the session. Whether it’s improving your shooting or making new friends, having a goal can help you stay focused.

  
  

• Be Open to Learning: Keep an open mind and be willing to learn from coaches and fellow athletes. Everyone has something valuable to share.

  
  

What to Expect During the Sessions

When you arrive at an open gym session, here is what you can typically expect:

1. Warm-Up: Most sessions will start with a warm-up to get your body ready for activity. This may include stretching and light exercises.

   
   

2. Skill Drills: Coaches will lead skill drills to help you practice specific techniques. Pay attention and ask questions if you need clarification.

   
   

3. Scrimmages: After drills, you may participate in scrimmages. This is a great way to apply what you have learned in a game-like setting.

   
   

4. Cool Down: At the end of the session, there will usually be a cool-down period. This is a good time to stretch and reflect on what you learned.

   
   

5. Social Time: Many sessions end with a chance to hang out and chat with other athletes. This is a perfect opportunity to make new friends.

As you lace up your sneakers and step onto the court, remember that every shot, every pass, and every moment spent practicing brings you closer to your goals. Embrace the journey, and let your passion for the sport shine.
