During the spring 2012 season, CUTtheNETS™ will offer a competitve Developmental League (D-LEAGUE) for Boys & Girls in grades 4-8. The format design provides a proven balance of fundamental skill training and competitive team play.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW :
Players will be divided by gender, age, & ability for biweekly drill sessions & games. CUTtheNETS™ goal is to construct programs benefitting aspiring, hard working, and talented players.
Because advanced concepts are taught, CUTtheNETS™ discourages 1st time or unattentive players. Players with no previous basketball playing experience will not be admitted into the program. Players who disrupt others are not tolerated.
2012 AAU ADDED-BENEFIT MEMBERSHIP:
All D-LEAGUE players MUST secure and submit an active 2012 AAU Added-Benefit Membership Card in order to participate. No exceptions please.
WEEKDAY DRILL SESSION FEATURES:
- D-LEAGUE biweekly drill sessions are Monday & Wednesday from 6:00-7:30p.
- All drill sessions are conducted @ Woodlands Preparatory School. (http://www.woodlandsprep.org)
-
Drill sessions are designed to enhance basketball IQ, fundamental skill, strength, & athleticism.

All players will play one officated game. CUTtheNETS™ coaches strive to provide players equal playing time. This, however, is not guaranteed.
