Got Game? Is it Crafty? Join March Leagues Today (grade 1-6)
Changing the way basketball is taught
All of our sports directors are thrilled to share that we are bringing an awesome experience to our gyms. Starting the second weekend in March, the Y’s new partnership with Crafty 3×3 Basketball will mean exciting leagues that promise to develop skilled basketball players, with a focus on team basketball.
To help, here are some reasons to join:
What are the Highlights?
When kids play 3 on 3 basketball (vs traditional 5 on 5) they get more touches of the ball. They get more comfortable in all aspects of the game.
Crafty Basketball was developed by a pioneer in the sports technology space. Incentives to develop all aspects of the game are built into Crafty’s unique scoring system that translates to fast paced, fun games and high IQ basketball.
Training for athletes will include important topics like best ways to cut and screen to maximize scoring, how to score with and without the ball, 5 secrets to becoming a consistent and potent scorer at any level. Team Basketball.
We’re talking about how to develop smart players (the same ones who keep playing because of how much fun they are having!)
The things that often allow kids to win at young ages (height, speed, strength) won’t serve them in later years unless they also develop technique, tactics, and the ability to think for themselves, three things that often go out the window in win at all costs youth sports.
