K-2nd Grade Development Leagues
Kingdom Basketball church partners want the youngest children to have fun while they learn basketball year-by-year. We want them to enjoy the game while being taught more each year starting with Kindergarten, 1st and finally 2nd grade leagues. Our teaching goals by league are as follows: (A majority of league head coaches can vote to change rules.)
Kindergarten-All teaching (no loss of ball unless "repeated" teaching attempts fail)
- gym floor layout
- dribbling the ball
- passing the ball
- throwing in the ball
- shooting (each player shoots 1 free throw each half)
- playing defense (covering the opposing player with the same color wrist band)
1st-Teaching and Loss of Ball (1st 2 weeks teaching only)
- double dribbling
- running with the ball
- fouling the opposing playing
2nd-Teaching and Loss of Ball (1st 2 weeks teaching only)
- all rules
- no zone defense
- no "picks"
