Program Goals
Our league is dedicated to providing a positive opportunity for children to learn and play basketball. The most important part of this experience is that every participant has a chance to learn, play, and enjoy the game. At this level, participation is more important than winning.

Team assignment
Returning players have a choice of returning to his/her previous assigned team or entering the draft. A draft is a skills review where that player will be graded on his/her level of the participating sport. For the purpose of being fair to all participants and coaches, all new players in his/her assigned age group will go through draft.
Coaches
We rely on parents to volunteer to coach in our athletic programs. Each team must have a volunteer coach. The recreation dept will have to limit the number of teams based on the number of coaches.
Exemptions: Carpooling exemptions are not allowed. The following are allowed:
1. Head coaches’ immediate family member (child, grandchild, niece, nephew)
2. Sibling(s) (brothers/sisters)
Practices/games
Practices assigned by the Recreation Department are held weeknights at the Clover Middle School gym. Practices will begin after the draft starting at 6pm.
Games assigned by the Recreation Department are held on Saturdays mornings at the Clover High School new and/or old gym. Games will begin tentatively on the 2nd Saturday in December starting at 9am for ages 9 and under. Games for ages 10 and older will begin tentatively on the 1st Saturday in January.
