***Not having Girls Leagues in 2024...very sorry, but it has been a struggle to get them filled and girls available/committed each week the past couple years after having some VERY high level play and many girls who went on (or will go on - keep working Tori O!) to play college basketball in previous fall leagues.
* West Metro playing location - Carver Elementary School (1717 Ironwood Dr, Carver, MN)
Nice newer gym with wood floors
Parents/fans may watch - no admission fee
* Each Saturday includes: 2 full court 5on5 games each Saturday (with refs, 15min halves) as well as 3on3 Halfcourt, a Shooting/Skill portion, and some "Rollout" 1on1. Plenty of chances for everyone to get touches and make plays each week!
* Quality coaching, instructing, and officiating with each league/division led by Hoops Training Director Andrew Dahl
* Register as an individual player or as a group of friends/teammates
* Weekly awards: MVP, Rebounding Award, & Top Defensive Player Award
and Individual Player Standings with those players recognized on Hoops Training Twitter & Instagram accounts
* Only the first 16 registered players in each grade level are guaranteed spots...SEE BELOW to Register
(Must have a minimum of 10 registrations for the league to run)
Registration Deadline - 9/13/24 or until a specific age division is full (don't delay!)
* Teams will consist of a maximum of 8 players per team for the 5 on 5 full court game portion. Teams will be adjusted each week providing the opportunity to play with different combinations of the 16 athletes in the league.
* Player Fee =
$185.00 for all 5 weeks (if have MN Swish 2024 AAU uniform to use)
$205.00 for all 5 weeks (if DON'T have a MN Swish AAU uniform)
$160.00 for 4 weeks (if have MN Swish 2024 AAU uniform to use)
$180.00 for 4 weeks (if DON'T have a MN Swish AAU uniform)
...for those that don't have uniforms, will order & give one to use for fall league and then collect it after your final Saturday session and get you your $20 back either by cash or venmo. So basically renting it :)
...if can't commit to 4 or more weeks, email [email protected] to be on a sub/replacement list and could pro-rate a cost if there are spots available closer to 9/21, otherwise could register and pay for 4 to guarantee a spot even if only making 3 weeks or less.
Each division will play for 2 hours straight. Here is a sample for the 9-11am slot:
9:00-9:05am - Warmup
9:05-9:25am - 3on3 Halfcourt (w/ref & keep score)
9:25-9:35am - Water Break and Shooting Drill
9:35-10:10am - 5on5 Game #1 (w/refs, 15min running time per half)
10:10-10:25 - Rollout 1on1 (w/ref & count buckets) and some rest as likely 6 to 8 players per basket
10:25-11:00am - 5on5 Game #2 (w/refs, 15min running time per half)
Each division will likely rotate, or have a mix of these timeslots: 9-11am, 11am-1pm, or 1-3pm (if you have timeslot requests to avoid conflicts, please email [email protected] and can try to accommodate)
* 2024 Schedule

The main focus of the Fall League is to prepare for the upcoming season and sharpen and develop skills. At the same time, we want to create a competitive environment and push players to bring a maximum effort in all areas of the game. So, we will recognize athletes after each week of play for the following weekly awards:

The main focus of the Fall League is to prepare for the upcoming season and sharpen and develop skills. At the same time, we want to create a competitive environment and push players to bring a maximum effort in all areas of the game. So, we will recognize athletes after each week of play for the following weekly awards:
WEEKLY AWARDs
MVP - The overall most valuable player typically on the winning team in both games. Plays a solid overall floor game creating plays for their team, plays hard all game, and does a lot of the "little things" that aren't always recognized in a scorebook.
TOP REBOUNDER - The player that consistently goes hard after rebounds and loose ball on both ends of the floor. Rebounding stats are not being kept, so this award goes to the person who's always boxing out and crashing the offensive glass.
TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYER - The player that is giving maximum effort on the defensive end. Not just getting blocks or steals, but the player who is in good help position, talking, and making it tough on the person they are guarding.
TOP REBOUNDER - The player that consistently goes hard after rebounds and loose ball on both ends of the floor. Rebounding stats are not being kept, so this award goes to the person who's always boxing out and crashing the offensive glass.
TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYER - The player that is giving maximum effort on the defensive end. Not just getting blocks or steals, but the player who is in good help position, talking, and making it tough on the person they are guarding.
*We realize that there are a lot of great efforts each week, but the award winners deserve some recognition. Not all players will receive a weekly award, but the awards are designed to help motivate players to work on some of the important aspects of basketball rather than just focusing on scoring points. *
