The Starter divison is for middle school students age 12-14yrs old who are currently playing or want to play middle school basketball. Aspiring players can utilize the BYB Fall League as an avenue to further develop their skill and game IQ.
All players will go through a six week skill and conditioning camp to start the season. Coaches will instill and cement the eight essential basketball skills needed in a multi- layered approach that will assist in players applying these aquired skills in real game situations.
Once camp is complete, players are assigned to their teams and will play a 12-game season with 2 week playoff for the championship.
