U12 and U14 Boys Competitive Sprummer Leagues 2025

 
Rockets Basketball is pleased to announce we are running a U12 Summer League this year for Elementary School Boys (Grades 4/5/6) for our second year in 2025. 

We are also excited that we will expand our Sprummer Competitive League and now have a U14 Boys Division. 

The league will have tryouts, and we are looking to take the top 40 athletes for each division and help them develop over the summer with an affordable summer basketball program with Elite training and skill development. 

This program is open to athletes from all fall/winter club programs and will not affect your membership with those clubs. Players will join us for the Sprummer, train and compete - and can return to their clubs for the following fall/winter season. 

UPDATE: Tryouts will be late Feburary or Early march after the metro season finishes. 

The program will be led by Rockets Club President Robin Veinotte along with other coaches and will consist of: 

• Two Practices per week (1.5-2 hrs each)
• Focus on skill development - athelets will play and learn with in the rules of D1&2 Club/BNS teams. 
• U14 Division will be introduced to Zone Defence and Offense and players will learn (or build on) lessions from the club season to help prepare them for Middle School or thier next year of Club Play. 
• Athletes from each division will be balanced into 4 teams (and maybe moved around over the summer to ensure teams are balanced and games are close) and they will practice with each other each week (2 teams in one gym, two teams in another), ending the week with scrimmage time.
• Weekends will be kept free for families to enjoy their spring/summer with a the expectations for game play. Game play will not be every weekend like MBAns.ca - but every 2nd weekend with mulitple games in a day.  
• The program tryouts will be between Feb and March, and sessions will start after BNS club provincial championships and run through to the end of June. 

Players will get lots of game experience and will stay local to keep costs low for families. This league is for current or aspiring Division 1/2/3 and 4 Players. Families who want their child to play more basketball but want to avoid the $1500-$3000 dollar costs of some summer travel programs - this is exactly what you have been lookning for. 

We feel this is the best development opportunity for kids (and parent's wallets) at this age level. If you are a parent coach now and want to be involved, this is the program for you as we are looking to take on lots of coaches to give good ratios to athletes. 

Kids will get a custom reversible jersey to keep, and practice gear. 
Gym locations will be in Cole Habour, Dartmouth, Shearwater/Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia

Our club is a Basketball NS Member Club, We are fully insured through BNS. Athelets will also have top up insurance as a part of thier summer fee. 

There is a $25 Tryout Fee due at the time of Registration. 

The Summer Season Cost will be Approximately $495 plus a few league wide Fundraisers to help cover extra games and team swag. 

We offer 50/50 online fundraising that families can use toward their costs, as well as split payments broken up over 3 months to help keep basketball affordable. 
We are also registered with Kid Sport and JumpStart Programs for funding assistance. 

We look forward to having a great summer of development.
