* SEASON DETAILS - The Spring season runs early March-May and will conclude with the JAM ON IT RENO MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT (The world's largest AAU Tournament).

* GAMES / TOURNAMENTS Teams will play 5-6 local tournaments, likely every other weekend on a Saturday or Sunday (maybe a few instances of Saturday and Sunday tournaments). The RENO MEMORIAL WEEKEND TOURNAMENT is a guaranteed 4 games over 3 days.
* PRACTICES will be held 2x a week at Elevate. 75 minute practices between 5-9pm,
* COACHES are paid for their time - energy - effort and organization. We have a lot of coaches that coach at the high school level and have years of experience in youth basketball.
* TEAM FORMATION - If we have enough athletes to form two teams at a specific grade level - teams will be formed based at the discretion of the program director. Traditionally at the younger grades we have tried to balance talent across teams and at the older grades we often create an A and B team. Team assignment would take place during first 2 weeks of practice after evaluations have been completed. Our goal is to find a place for everyone and for each team to have a positive and uplifting season! We try our very best to be a no cut program that is inclusive and kids and families are proud to be a part of.
