The Foorce

For special needs players, make sure to register for the Champions Division. I wholeheartedly recommend this program and can’t say enough good things about the coaches and volunteers that make it happen at such a low cost. Something for every player, no matter their age or ability.

To all families of the VIP, Challenger & Champions Divisions (and any new families !!)

            The  CHAMPIONS DIVISION   of the Safe Haven West Side Basketball League will officially begin it’s 14^th season  on Saturday DECEMBER 1st,  2012.   All groups will be playing at P.S. 163 on 97th street between Amsterdam & Columbus Avenues.

Last season we added another session for our JUNIORS group.  This group had grown tremendously over the last two years and in order to provide the best possible experience for all – we divided the players into two groups Junior A  and Junior B.    The parents of the junior players will be contacted separately to discuss which session their child should be assigned to.

Therefore the times for the sessions will be as follows :

Group Name      Time of Session       Approximate Age     Description of Division

       Senior A   –   9:00 –  10:30 AM           15 – 22                          ( More Assertive players)

       Senior B   –  10:30 –  12:00 PM           15 -22                           (Less Assertive players)

      Junior  A   –   12:00 –   1:30 PM           10  -14                          ( More Assertive players)

      Junior B    –     1:30  –   3:00 PM            10-14                           (Less Assertive players)

  Rising Stars   –     3:00 –  4:00 PM             5- 10                           ( All players )

We will be available to discuss which division your child should play in – if it is not apparent.  Please note that the division that they play in Soccer may not automatically correlate to which division that they play in Basketball.

There are different skill sets involved and we want your child to get the best experience, skill building and learning the  structured parts of playing basketball – and of course,  HAVE FUN !!
