Youth Boys Basketball Programs

Phase 1 - “Next Generation”

Who:                      Future Bears (boys) who live in the CVHS attendance area
Grades:                  1 through 3
Practice Days:        Sundays
Time:                      1:00 – 2:00 pm
Dates:                     Early October through mid-December (approx. 9-10 sessions)
Focus:                    Basic basketball fundamentals, with special emphasis on ball handling, passing & shooting
Registration:          By Individual (Next Generation Registration Link coming soon)  

Next Generation is our introductory camp where kids develop foundational basketball skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, pivots, defensive stance, etc.  The culminating activity for Next Generation is a half-time performance during a CVHS varsity basketball game.

Our goal for Next Generation is to prepare our future Bears so they can be successful at an early age and develop a passion for the game.  After graduating from our Next Generation program (i.e., end of 3rd grade), it is our hope that we can have at least two 4th grade AAU teams that will enter into Phase 2, which is our Bears Club.

Phase 2 - “Bears Club”

Who:                      Future Bear (boys) AAU Teams, who live in the CVHS attendance area
Grades:                  4 through 8
Practice Days:        Sundays
Time:                     Grades 4, 5, 6       2:00-3:30 pm
Time:                     Grades 6, 7, 8       3:30-5:00 pm
Dates:                     Early October through mid-December (approx. 9-10 sessions)
Focus:                    Develop foundational basketball skills, teach the CVHS basketball drills and schemes (i.e., man offense, man defense, zone offense, press break, etc.)                
Registration:         By team.   AAU coach in charge of registering his whole team (contact Coach Sloan)

Bears Club is essentially a team camp where the entire AAU team and coaches practice on Sundays with the CVHS coaches providing instruction and guidance.  We would like to have at least 2 teams at each grade level learning our system.  Our goal, at the conclusion of the programs (i.e., 8th grade), is to provide a smoother transition into CVHS basketball and to equip the players with the necessary foundational skills to be the best player they can be and to maximize our team success as well.

Note:  in addition to Next Generation and Bears Club camps, we also offer a summer basketball camp too.  Summer camp is usually held during the month of June and is open to grades 2 through 12. (Boys Summer camp registration Link will be available in spring)
