The Cadet League is geared toward all skill levels for girls in the sport of basketball. Skills to be taught in this league include dribbling, passing, shooting and defending. In competing with others in the community, girls are able to develop a strong ethic of sportsmanship, learning to compete in a friendly manner. The Cadet League contains two divisions, Scarlet and Gray. Players in the Gray division play with the hoop adjusted to 9 feet, while players in the Scarlet division play with the hoop at 10 feet. Players in both divisions use women's regulation basketballs (28.5). Immediately following the practices (starting the practice before the first game), we take time to share biblical principles with the players and encourage them to pursue a life with Christ in our huddle time, which will last approximately 15-20 minutes. Players and coaches are also encouraged to memorize scripture verses weekly. This is all part of our Championship Series Points (CSP) system, which determines the league champions. Starting this Fall all First Friends Youth Basketball Leagues are part of the Jr. Cavaliers! As part of registration each participant will receive a Cavaliers ticket to a TBD game for the 2011-2012 season . During that game First Friends league participants will have the opportunity to engage in unique Fan Experience programs on the Cavaliers court among many other exciting activities planned for the night. See you at “The Q”!
