And the off-season games begin...
 

...for me, anyway. Four this coming Saturday, four on Sunday, grade 5-6 boys.

These ones can be fun, though having to bear in mind "can't press" rules (first half, or if you're up by 10, etc.).

Wow, that's strict. Here you can press any time in the game as long as you aren't up by 20 or more

My friend and I developed a mechanic to use locally in games with similar rules.

When a team gets within 1 possession of the no-press spread, so signal with our palms pressed, to show that we both have the press still being legal. Once the spread hits at or beyond the established threshold, our palms are outstretched to show maximum distance between the two, showing that the team winning must "give halfcourt".

Waiting for the older kids to play before I start doing AAU.

Have a 1 day military intramural tournament on the 24th. First camp is last weekend in April.

My first tournament is on the 24th. Then another one in two weeks.

For me, a spring league starts on April 14 and runs six weeks. It's a big league. They usually have about 200 teams for this.
