Season structure

October through March

Team: 4th grade roster competing in the Swish 55 League.
Practices: Saturdays, 4 to 6 PM, at 78th & Lexington on the Upper East Side.
Games: Sundays at Basketball City.
Coaching: Coach Aris leads on-court instruction.
Uniform: Team uniform included with the registration fee.

Registration details, fee amount and tryout dates will be shared directly with interested families. Get in touch to receive them first.

Habits come first. Punctuality, effort and respect are non-negotiable, and they are coached like any other skill.

Two hours of purposeful work every Saturday: ball handling, footwork, shooting mechanics, decision making and defensive fundamentals.

Sunday games are where the week's work gets tested. Players learn to compete for each other, not just for themselves.

Our tagline is our method. Motivated players practice harder, listen better and improve faster.

What families can expect

Same practice window every Saturday and league games every Sunday, so families can plan the season in advance.

Swish 55 League play against other organized 4th grade teams in New York City.

Questions go straight to Aaron by call or text. No portals, no runaround.
