| Hello Alley-Oop Spring Season Families,
We are 2 weeks into the Spring Season already. We are getting geared up for another great season of basketball.
For those that missed it last week. We made a big announcement! Shoot 360 is offerring a free training to Alley-Oop teams. Each week we will select teams to take advantage of this great deal. Shoot 360 is a state of the art basketball training facility located within the MAP. They are going to open it up to for Alley-Oop teams once a week for the season. They secure the whole facility for our group. It is 7-8pm each week. We will notify teams in this weekly announcement and send them a direct message in TeamSnap and put it on the teams calendar. This training session is truly free and the kids just get a change to try out their very nice equpiment (shooting machines and digital dribbling stations). The kids will surely love it. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to come and watch. Attached is the flyer.
Second team selected to participate in the shoot 360 team training is Alley-Oop 360 Club Program ! Their training day is today 3/23. They were notified and will be participating.
Next week 3/30 the lucky teams are Clippers, Blazers, and Phenoms. Each team will be notified individually with further instructions,

FAQ - Some are not aware that at the time registration opens at the beginning of each season we post a FAQ page for the season that has helpful information about the upcoming season. I encourage you to review it so you can take a look at the type of information it has so that when the next season rolls around you know what kind of information is at your finger tips. For those that read registration emails the information is virtually the same just in question format. We like to keep all armed with info!

PARENTS - Coaches Coach, Players Play, and Fans Cheer. Also please keep in mind no going to the scorekeepers table. If there is an issue talk to your Coach or go to a Commissioner.
Uniforms - Coaches have been notified. Players must have the same matching uniforms. Pleae make sure the teams have uniforms that match. So please remeber to have your player bring their uniform.
Important Dates and other info -
- Spring T-Shirts - The coveted league T's are in the design phase. We got another crowd pleaser in the works. We will be handing them out towards the end of April. We hand them to the coach on a game day and they hand them out to the players. If your team doesn't play that week we will hand them to the team at their next game.
- Playoffs/Championship Start 5/6 and End 5/7 (Playoff schedule comes out Wednesday 5/4 LATE)

Also teams are put in separate divisions based on the performance during the regular season.
