Description:
This tot basketball class was designed to give our youngest athletes a positive first step into the exciting game of basketball. Our expert coaches use modified equipment and age-appropriate curriculum to allow boys and girls to discover basketball through PLAY! Through interactive games, your child will explore dribbling, passing, shooting, body movement, coordination, balance, teamwork, sportsmanship, and self-esteem. Bring your friends or come make new ones.
Parent Participation:
This is not a parent participation class, but parents are welcome to participate if their child needs moral support on the first day. Our goal is to get parents to the sideline as quickly as possible so the kids can practice taking instruction from their coaches and not a parental figure.
TeamSnap Invite:
We will be sending everyone a TeamSnap invite 1-week prior to the academy's start date. Please accept the invitation and download the TeamSnap App on your phone if you haven’t done so already. We are going to be using TeamSnap this session to:
- Communicate with the parents: You will be receiving automated e-mail reminders from TeamSnap as well as e-mails from the camp director - Billy Goldstein. We also recommend parents use the TeamSnap chat tool to communicate with coaches and other parents.
- Schedule Calendar: You can see all the upcoming practices on the team schedule tab. If I make any changes to the schedule (i.e. practice gets moved to a different field or cancelled), you will be notified.
- Availability: The availability tool is the best way to let the coaches know if your child will be attending or not. Just click the Schedule Tab, click on the date of the practice, and select Going, Maybe or No.
If you already have TeamSnap, and this is not the email you used to register through TeamSnap, please send me the correct email. This way you don’t need to create a whole new profile.
If you don't receive the TeamSnap invite 1-week prior to the start date, please check your SPAM folder. Still don't see anything, e-mail your Camp Director (see contact information below)
Check-in/Check-out Procedures:

What to bring to Class:

Club Culture:
Our club culture is the MEAL plan.
- Make Mistakes
- Effort
- Accountability
- Learning
In order to play for The Divide Grizzlies, everyone must agree to our MEAL Plan Club Culture. A healthy Meal Plan can give an individual the nourishment it needs to grow and development. Our MEAL Plan Culture does the same for our Club. You are going to make mistakes and that is okay because you are always going to give maximum effort, take accountability for your actions on and off the court, and learn from your mistakes. That is how you will grow as a player. That is how we will grow as a club.
Club Life Skills:
The Life Skills that we teach at our club are listed below. We don't expect our players to be perfect at all the life skills listed below all the time. This is a learning process and we will use the game of basketball to help teach life lessons that will help them in life. We just ask that all players have a positive attitude as we challenge them physically and mentally to develop the life skills listed below. It is about the journey.
- Respect, Sportsmanship, Leadership, Confidence, Effort, Responsibility, Teamwork, and Integrity
