Winter months of 2025 - 2026 

Chapman West Basketball Academy presents you with a chance to get started at an early age. Whether it’s running for a loose ball, going for a rebound, or even finishing a wide open layup, we help the basketball mini’s advance on the floor as well as off the floor.

Here at Chapman Basketball we give your sons and daughters a fun environment, excellent coaching, and knowledge to further their basketball journey. It isn’t about winning at this age, it’s about them developing the correct set of skills to advance later in life. We created this program to show that a positive environment is a winning environment. We hope you join us for this fun adventure. 

SIGN UP TODAY!

We will have 8 teams of 8-9 players. Practice will be before your game for 45 minutes. This has worked great, so parents do not have to make more than one trip a week! No spectators are allowed to stay in the gymnasium during practice (We need full attention). 

Dates

• December 6th

• December 13th

• December 20th

• January 10th

• January 17th

• January 24th

Here is my plan for the timing of the days. It always depends on the total number of players that we get signed up! You might not play the same session each week!

1st session

• 9:00-9:45am: Practice
• 9:50-10:30am Gameplay

2nd session

• 10:45-11:30am: Practice
• 11:35-12:15pm: Gameplay

3rd Session (If needed)

• 12:30-1:15: Practice
• 1:20-2:00: Gameplay

Parents,

If you are interested in coaching, we will be breaking into small groups/stations and rotating every 10 or 15 minutes. If you haven’t sent me an email about coaching please do so. The more the merrier at this young age!

If you are a spectator we recommend not staying in the gym due to the wandering eyes that occur. It makes our jobs as coaches very difficult. If you would like to sit in the cafeterias please do so! 

What to Bring:

• Basketball Shorts
• Basketball Shoes (Bring separate and change into them, especially once the weather acts up)
• Long Sleeve or T-shirt
• Water Bottle
• Basketball: If you have one. If not, no worries. Ages 3-6 will use a 27.5. Ages 7-9 will use a 28.5

I will be distributing the jersey tops before the first games of week 1 and 2
