**WE MAY GET A 10TH WEEK...STAY TUNED!!**

Once again, your basketball board is working diligently to provide your child the most rewarding, challenging and fun opportunites. Due to the massive positive response regarding our clinic programs, we are modifying the spring league. In the past, we allowed anyone to bring a self-made team (4-8th grade) and play similarly comprised teams during the week with no practice times. Ultimately, the teams were greatly unbalanced, the games mismatches, and the league limited to older children.

This year, we will be offering a LTYA BASKETBALL ACADEMY. Any child, K-8th grade, can register and participate. They will be divided into groups, similar to the current clinic sessions, and taught more specialized skills on at least one day during the week (schools schedules will vary the offering) WILL BE ON TUESDAYS A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. In addition, there will be another day (WILL BE ON WEDNESDAYS) allotted to various fun mini-tourneys for those said groups...ie 1X1, 3X3, free throw contests, etc...EACH WEEK. This will keep the program fresh and exciting while teaching various new skillsets.

Since it is an ACADEMY, there will be no jerseys but each participant will receive an LTYA BASKETBALL ACADEMY T-shirt and ball. The coaches at the ACADEMY will be none other than our HOT SHOTS, DEBORAH NEWKIRK and RICK CASTLE. Registration fees will be $120 for K-4th grade, and $150 5-8th grade.

Speaking of HOT SHOTS, we will be continuing this program. Due to tournament constraints, we will only have a 3/4th grade boys, 5/6th grade girls, 5th grade boys, and 6th grade boys teams. The fee will include coaching costs for practices and tournaments (3 included). The tournament fees will be a la carte. Tryouts will be with the HOT SHOTS Coaches. They will make selections of 10 children per team. There is a non-refundable tryout fee of $20. It will cover gym and coach costs. If your child is selected, the fee will be credited against the balance. The total registration fee will be $280. THERE WILL NOT BE A MAKEUP DAY. PRACTICES ON THURSDAYS FOR 1.5 HRS

Thank you for your support!
Keep on Hoopin it UP!!
