New Canaan Basketball Association

Basketball for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Grade Girls

Overview

Experienced, professional coaches will run a fundamental basketball skills and games program for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade New Canaan girls from early November through late February out of St. Mary's gym in Norwalk. Evaluations will take place in mid-late October.

Mike Evans, a former varsity head coach and NCAA assistant, and a former semi-pro, college and high school all-state player, will oversee a foundational skills-based program that also includes intra squad games and games against other towns. Mike’s website for basketball instruction can be found here.

Experience

Previous basketball experience is not mandatory, but it is recommended for this program.

Curriculum and Schedule

The twice-per-week program will follow a curriculum that includes ball-handling, defense, shooting, passing and in-game concepts.

There will be roughly 30 practices, some of which will include formal games. Once our group's ability is established we will schedule additional competitive games against neighboring programs.

4th Grade girls are eligible to play in Saturday games against neighboring towns.
