Players from ALL schools are welcome.
It can be hard to have productive practices when a player and coach are new to a sport. In Jump Start, we understand the importance of teaching players the fundamentals of the game early. To ensure that every player has the foundational skills they need to succeed, we provide hands on instruction during games in place of weekly practices. Additionally, we offer grade-specific practice plans to support any volunteers who wish to host practices on their own.
IMPROVED GAMEPLAY
At this age, basketball and team sports are still a relatively new concept in a young player's life. With features like Jump Spaces, Grade Specific Rules, and On-Court Instruction from Be Elite Staff during games, Jump Start provides an engaging approach to teaching basketball that benefits players at all levels of experience. Placing a strong emphasis on increasing in-game experience, and aligned with our motto of "Just Play", this style allows players to form good habits early and progressively develop starting at a young age.
Whether you are signing up individually, or already have a team, Jump Start is the perfect opportunity to grow as a player and create lifelong memories. Already have a team? Jump Start also allows fully formed teams to enter the league.
ALL players will sign up individually and formed teams will submit their roster to the market director through email, phone, Facebook, etc... Teams are formed by school district, so be sure to invite your kiddo's friends to join!!
All registrants will be placed on a team, even if there is not enough from their school!
Boys & Girls are separate divisions and Divisions vary by location.
