Skill Development

Before diving into gameplay, all athletes will be put through various NCAA like drills led by Division 1 coaches. Players will rotate around to various stations to ensure EVERY player gets the opportunity to work with each coach during this time. We will have multiple coaches representing multiple positions to ensure all player positions receive ample coaching, and each station will have a minimum of two coaches to allow them the opportunity to take a minute to teach anything applicable to the drill or that they may be seeing.

Gameplay

Once broken up into teams, there will be a total of 4 games played at one time, allowing all coaches to focus on no more than half the total amount of players in attendance at a given time. Each team will compete in three games total, with a break in between each one.
We will play NCAA rules to demonstrate what its like to play at the highest level for some of the best coaches in the game. All players will receive equal playing time, and the coaches will be dispersed evenly among the teams to maximize coaching and teaching throughout the day. Once the registration period ends, the players will be broken out evenly into 8 teams.
