      Description:

      K-8 Boys' Basketball is a competitive sport where student athletes refine their skills in practices and competition.  Team work, commitment, and dedication to improve throughout the season are nurtured by their coaches.  Many competitive High School Athletes have come out of 国产探花Basketball programs.

      Typical End Date:

      The Boys' 7/8 Basketball Championship Tournament takes place during the first or second week of December, prior to Winter Break.  Unless a team signs up for an outside tournament, that is the end of their season.  The Boys' 5/6 Team ends their season with the last game unless they play in the Annual Charger Classic held for the 5/6 teams in the 20 K-6 schools.
