Your child should play in the Maverick League if he or she wants a more
traditional game of basketball. We will utilize the full court, use
certified referees, utilize regulation goal heights, keep scores,
provide standings and in general present a situation that could
involve competitive pressure. Available to children ages 8 to 11,
this is not for every child and enrollment may be limited. Some
players will come in on a pre-existing team while others will come
individually. We encourage both and strive to create a balanced and
highly competitive league. As a result, every new child for this season (regardless if they are on a pre-existing team) will
be required to participate in our evaluation period.

Upward Basketball is a national program that has grown from 64
locations in 1996 to over 1000 this year. No pre-established teams
enter this league. Players sign up as individuals and are placed on
teams according to height and ability. Every effort is made for equal
competition through balanced teams. Every player plays equal time
and will have the opportunity to start several games. To increase
success, younger players play on shorter goals with smaller balls.
To reduce unneeded pressure, no score is kept until third grade.
