ATX 5th grade boys 2006 Season

ATX 5^th/11U Boys 2006 Spring/Summer Season

(Last updated September 4, 2006)

Description: We are a 5^th grade / 11U basketball team that is associated with the ATX basketball club (www.atxboys.com) that originates out of the central Texas area. The ATX basketball club is a program of Greater Central Texas Youth Association (GCTYA), a non-profit, 501©3 organization. The mission of GCTYA is to “Enrich the minds, bodies and spirits of our participants, though academics and athletics.” We strive to be an alternative to the various negative elements which compete for the attention of our youth.

Our list of current sponsors and partners can be viewed from here.

Our particular 11U team has 100% of coaches and players residing in Pflugerville, Texas and as a result the majority of our practices are conducted in Pflugerville and/or North Austin. The commitment for the current season started at the beginning of March and completes the 1^st weekend of June. We may choose to extend the season into the summer months.

Mission: The primary objective of our team is to provide a vehicle which allows talented young boys to compete at the highest level at this age. We strive to give basketball instruction with an emphasis on all the fundamental aspects of the game as well as team play. Boys participating in our team typically have a desire to develop their game at a level which would allow them to try-out and make their middle school and high school teams in the future.

Coaches: Head coach David King and assistant coach John Sabin are the current coaches for the 11U team. Both have had numerous years of basketball coaching experience with young kids. David King’s complete basketball resume is available here.

As such we require and expect players to be present and to do their best at all practices.
