Hot Shots Sports aims to develop young athletes who will grow emotionally, physically, and intellectually in our sports programs. By redirecting the focus away from wins and losses and toward personal growth, we create an hot_shots environment where winning is the byproduct of and not the means to success.

This approach creates critical thinkers who understand the importance of giving their best in practice, games, and other life endeavors. Our coaches take pride in fostering that drive, and motivating your child to find the champion inside of themselves.

The Community Basketball League is for girls and boys in grades K-8 offering a fantastic opportunity for young athletes to learn and improve their basketball skills!

Volunteer Coaches will be leading practices and games following a curriculum to ensure fundamental skill development. Each week the athletes will practice for 45 minutes and then play a 45-minute game. This will allow for focused skill development and plenty of opportunities for kids to apply what they've learned in a fun, competitive setting. Volunteer coaches will lead both practices and games using a structured curriculum designed to promote fundamental skill development.
