Fire Basketball is partnering with athletes to grow to their NEXT LEVEL on and off the court through our development, local, regional, and national teams.
SPring/summer Teams
Our Spring/Summer teams are for boys in grades 4-12 and will begin practice in March and games start in late March or early April (depending on team and level of play). We have teams of all levels of competition and strive to put each player in position to be challenged and grow with and against players of similar skill and experience. We will hold player evaluations in late February through early March to form rosters and determine which Level of Competition is appropriate for each team. Descriptions of each Level of Competition, practice and play schedules, and costs are below.
ALL players must register and pay the $125 deposit upon registration. The remaining balance is due by March 15 OR, you must have a 4 payment plan set up (April, May, June, and July). The remaining balance due for each player will be determined by the level of competition. The deposit covers our upfront costs incurred before the start of season (uniform orders, practice space, admin, etc.) A description of each Level of Competition is below.
As a no-cut club, we will have a team that fits each player. We will hold our first player evaluations in February at our gymnasium inside The Journey Church (5250 E US 36, Avon, IN 46123). Dates and times for evaluations are below. Evaluations are used to help solidify which level of play and roster is the best fit for individual players.
