Boys and Girls Basketball
Grades K–1 • Ages 5–6
The focus of the K–1 Basketball League
is for the participants to have fun while
learning the game of basketball! Parents
coach in this league and games are refereed
by the Hot Shots Sports coaches. The
first week consists of a skills clinic run by
Hot Shots Sports. All other weeks consist
of a practice followed by game play.
Hot Shots Sports coaches assist parent
coaches during practice time, and provide
instruction while refereeing to ensure all
players understand the rules of the game
and are advancing their skills each week.
Score will not be kept during weeks 2–5 to
ensure the focus is on the development of
the players and the team. Age groups may
be combined based upon enrollment and
player skill level. All players will receive a
reversible jersey.
Parents interested in coaching a team
should contact Hot Shots Sports at 773-
