ABOUT

The BasketBull Development League will provide New England kids with the opportunity to compete in a competitive, instructional setting. Each player will receive two hours of work each week, for a total of 7 weeks, leading up to their season. The session will be broken down into 1 hour of highly instructional skill work and the 2^nd hour will be 5 on 5 game-play with teams divided up for balance and competitiveness.

The BDL will focus on a session-to-session teaching progression, where the kids continue to work and develop skills over time. After the skill work is complete, kids will then have the opportunity to incorporate what they've learned into 5 on 5 games. Some other highlights include:

EVERYONE WILL PLAY - Everyone will get the opportunity for equal playing time with no more than 10 players/team.
PROGRESSIVE TEACHING - Kids will improve and expand upon basketball skills and fundamentals from week to week.
TEAM ATMOSPHERE - Coaches will be hired to help develop kids and teach them proper fundamentals.
EXPOSURE - Division II and III college coaches will be encouraged to attend to evaluate kids.

Reversible Jersey or Tee-shirt
