PLAYER COMMITMENT:
Rep programs are intended for athletes who are committed and serious about playing basketball at a competitive level. We believe that multi-sport athletes are the best athletes, and we make every attempt to work with other sports organizations to minimize conflicts. We hope that players have a 1A sport and a 1B sport, not a first and second sport. For example, if a player misses their other sport due to a basketball game or tournament, we fully support that player choosing their other sport the next time a conflict occurs.
TYPICAL SCHEDULE:
During the season teams will practice 2-3 times a week on Monday,Wednesday and/or Friday nights and play 20 - 30 games in a season.
