Rangers Spring/Summer Basketball (April-June)
Over the last fifteen years there has been a significant growth in the opportunites to play basketball over the spring and summer. There are over 150 summer clubs operating in addition to the Provincial Team programs. Rangers Basketball offers a number of summer teams each year for both girls and boys. In 2009 we had six teams in operation: U13 boys and girls, U15 boys and girls, U17 boys and girls.
These teams travel extensively for tournament competition. We have travelled through Alberta, Saskatchewan and the United States to play games and tournaments. Our teams have a significant practice load as well.
Keeping with the Rangers' philosophy we focus on indvidual development within a team framework. What does that mean? Our practices focus on helping individuals develop their individual skills within a team framework designed to use and enhance those skills. The majority of our practice time is spent on individual offence skill development and overall athletic development. We spend more time perfecting players than perfecting plays. Rangers Basketball also provides team members with training in nutrition, academic acheivement, post-secondary recruitment and mental skills development.
This is a program with a high level of training requiring a high level of commitment that will result in a high level of achievement.
