The Traders Point Youth Basketball League has a 25-year tradition and was the first sports program to be offered through the church. Over time, the league has taken on different shapes and sizes, but the common denominator remains the same—an opportunity for kids to learn the game of basketball from experienced coaches, have fun, and learn life skills from a biblical background.
TPCC will begin the winter session of its Fusion Youth Basketball League, for boys from grades 5 through 12, starting with practices the week Jan. 5. Games will be held on Saturdays, January through March, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the church.
“The basketball skills taught in the league are based on fundamentals,” said Scott White, TPCC sports director. “Our goal is to see every player improve in at least one area of the game during his or her tenure with the league. We have resourceful and experienced coaches. They coach with the goal of teaching kids the right way to play basketball, as opposed to focusing on running plays just to score points. There are many resources that we offer to coaches and kids who play in the league on ways they can develop their game outside of the church walls.”
To date, the league has coached more than 400 kids in grades 1 through 12 from Zionsville, Lebanon and Carmel.
