Philosophy: As with all things i9 we start with fun. The program/league is designed to be fun, educational, inclusive, safe and challenging for the kids and convenient for parents. All players get equal playing time in our league games. The younger kids will all get equal attention and opportunity in the instructional program as well. The focus of the program is teaching basketball fundamentals, building confidence, learning good sportsmanship/teamwork and of course, making it a great experience for each child.
