This age group practices 1 or 2 nights per week and then plays a game on Saturday mornings. Practices are held at a local CMS gym or community partner church and generally 1 hour long. Kids at 8 & Under play with a smaller 27.5" size ball (adjusted smaller this year to align with USA Basketball standards) and all games are played at these same venues. Players in this age group go through a pre-season evaluation process so that we can divide the teams out as evenly as possible. Team rosters are typically no more than 8 players max and each player must play 1 full uninterrupted quarter in the first half, and sit out one full uninterrupted quarter in the game. The quarters last 6 minutes. Age group eligibility is determined by your age on August 1 so children who were 7 or 8 on August 1 are eligible.
