PLACEMENT EVALUATIONS
Before the season starts, every player takes part in a placement evaluation. Coaches use it to build balanced teams, so every team develops equally and every game is a good one.
OPEN RUN FRIDAYS
Friday nights are open runs! Registered players get extra time on the court, free, every week of the season. It's a chance to get more reps, play with friends and keep improving between games.
