Basketball Programs

FCA Basketball gives athletes a fun, encouraging, and development-focused environment where they can build their skills, grow as teammates, and develop a love for the game.

Uniforms

Uniforms are provided directly by the league, so families no longer need to order them individually. We carry uniforms in bulk sizing, which means uniform size selection is not required during registration.

Uniforms will be handed out at your team’s practice before the first game.

Practice Night, Player, and Coach Requests

Due to the complexity of team formation and league scheduling, we are unable to accommodate individual practice-night requests. While we understand that every family has a unique schedule, meeting specific requests is not sustainable at the league level.

Families may submit player or coach requests during registration; however, requests are not guaranteed. Team placement depends on registration numbers, division balance, roster sizes, coaching availability, and scheduling needs. We will consider each request, but we cannot guarantee that every request can be accommodated.

4–5-Year-Old Basketball Clinic

Our 4–5-year-old program is a once-a-week clinic designed to introduce young athletes to basketball in a fun, encouraging, and age-appropriate environment.

Boys meet on Mondays, girls meet on Tuesdays. Each clinic lasts one hour and focuses on the fundamentals of basketball through active, high-energy stations. Athletes will learn dribbling, passing, shooting, movement, and basic court awareness without long lines or extended downtime.

During the final weeks of the clinic, athletes will participate in 3-on-3 scrimmages. This gives them an opportunity to use what they have learned in a fun, low-pressure, game-like atmosphere.

The heart of this clinic is simple: create a positive first basketball experience and help young athletes fall in love with the game.

Season: Beginning of November through mid-December

Boys: Mondays
Girls: Tuesdays
Session Length: One hour per week
Location: To be determined

6–7-Year-Old Basketball League

Our 6–7-year-old division is a traditional league that gives young athletes the perfect step from beginner instruction into organized team play.

Teams practice once a week and play one game each week. Practices take place on either Monday or Tuesday, while games are played on either Wednesday or Thursday.

Practices are active, game-like, and focused on helping athletes develop confidence with the ball. Players learn dribbling, passing, shooting, spacing, movement, teamwork, and basic game concepts in an encouraging environment.
